Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks land in the muddy middle: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Hayden Conner at Round 5, Pick 37 will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots to take Xavier Watts, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached a country mile for Deone Walker at slot 52, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A tidy little value on Darien Porter in the 82nd pick, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They talked themselves into Hollin Pierce at Round 3, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in pick 137 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 172nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in pick 175, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 18 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
