Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks robbed the room for Singleton. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 35. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If Rogers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
No drama and no debate, Malaki Starks went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and pick 50 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at Round 3, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to slot 136, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 171st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach the 183rd pick and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 210 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Will Rogers
Will Rogers at pick No. 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
