Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Nix headlines a B- weekend for the Seahawks.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 149 spots for Taulia Tagovailoa, and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Bo Nix
No edge and no loss on Bo Nix in pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in slot 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They reached into another round for Jamari Thrash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at the 152nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Value said wait; Taulia Tagovailoa in pick No. 236 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
