Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick 212 lands the Seahawks a B+, Fitzgerald and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Fitzgerald, pick No. 212, roughly 95 picks past where he belonged.

Reaching for Mertz left real value on the table behind him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
The board had cheaper options than Jihaad Campbell at pick 31, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 50 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 66th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 82nd pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at No. 95 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 36. Edge rusher needed the pick; a safety in Andrew Mukuba did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 173 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 187 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 212 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at No. 236 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
