Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

The Garrett Dellinger pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 122 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 18th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than pick 50, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Xavier Watts adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
No drama and no debate, Gunnar Helm went about where he belonged in slot 82. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 92nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick No. 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at No. 172 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at Round 5, Pick 37, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brady Cook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in the 234th pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
