Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot. The Seahawks jumped the board by 58 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 18th pick they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 50th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 52 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
The board had cheaper options than Gunnar Helm at No. 82, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Value said wait; Cam Skattebo in slot 92 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They paid sticker price for Hollin Pierce in pick No. 137, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in No. 175 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in pick No. 234, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
