Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B

The Seahawks cashed the board's mistake on Moore: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Malachi Moore tumbling to the Seahawks in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonah Savaiinaea in the 50th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 82 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jackson at the 92nd overall pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick No. 137 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Connor Colby
No drama and no debate, Connor Colby went about where he belonged in No. 175. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Nice patience on JJ Pegues, who had no business lasting to No. 185. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Trevor Etienne worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
