FutureD-
The Seahawks went off-script early, and it cost them a F. The Seahawks bet big and early on Hayden Conner, 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Membou pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matthew Golden. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In slot 18 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In the 20th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 39th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41
Rnd2
Armand Membou
Steal is underselling it; Armand Membou at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Schwesinger this early at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 82 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dillon Gabriel
A wild overpay on Dillon Gabriel in the 92nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
They jumped the gun on Emery Jones Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 172 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Caleb Ransaw
They reached into another round for Caleb Ransaw, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at Round 7, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick 234 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
