Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Seahawks would have aced it. Hayden Conner at No. 175 is 90 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Mukuba pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots.

The Mukuba steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 18th pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy little value on Xavier Watts in slot 50, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They took Gunnar Helm at par in No. 82, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With edge rusher, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 28 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
By-the-book stuff, Hollin Pierce at pick No. 137 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 34 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in slot 175 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at No. 223. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brady Cook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in the 234th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
