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

The Seahawks bet big and early on Hayden Conner, 79 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Campbell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at the 50th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 20: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
No edge and no loss on Gunnar Helm in No. 82; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 137, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at No. 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at slot 175, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
