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

Some picks age like wine; Hayden Conner at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Watts pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, running back and other spots still on the board.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Higgins. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A want over a need in No. 50: Xavier Watts adds a safety while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nice patience on Jihaad Campbell, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 20. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They read the board right and Jayden Higgins was the payoff at pick 82. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 92nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at pick No. 137. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at the 175th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brady Cook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in No. 234, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
