Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Seahawks: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Brady Cook at No. 175 will need to, sitting 106 spots clear of his grade. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, linebacker and other spots went begging.

If Nick Emmanwori and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
No edge and no loss on Nick Emmanwori in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick50 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, linebacker and other spots untouched.
Pick52 Rnd2 Gunnar Helm
Value said wait; Gunnar Helm in No. 52 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in the 82nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 3, Pick 28 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 137, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 5, Pick 34 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at pick 175 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Travis in the 234th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
