Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in slot 119 lands the Seahawks a D, Smith and all.

The Seahawks lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him.

The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They went early on Marist Liufau in No. 78, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at the 80th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in the 81st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Somehow Tykee Smith was still sitting there in pick No. 119, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They let Ethan Driskell come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 19. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 233 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Maurice Smith a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
