Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

The Seahawks did not so much draft Garrett Dellinger as overpay for him, 61 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

On value alone, Warren makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick No. 50 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the 82nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 92nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd4 Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at Round 4, Pick 35, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Value said wait; Clay Webb in pick 172 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A reach on Vernon Broughton in slot 175; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Jermari Harris a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in No. 234 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
