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

The Seahawks bet big and early on Brady Cook, 106 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Seahawks indulged a want in Emmanwori while a need in edge rusher, linebacker and other spots stayed open.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 18 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Nick Emmanwori while clear needs at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in the 82nd pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Nothing to complain about; Gunnar Helm went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in No. 137; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 172; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brady Cook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in the 175th pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in No. 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in pick No. 234 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
