Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The phones sank the Seahawks this weekend: D+.

The Donovan Smith selection is the head-turner. The Seahawks reached 93 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Sanders value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 1, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick37 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than pick 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to pick No. 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 40th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They read the board right and Isaiah Bond was the payoff at the 82nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Slater a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They talked themselves into Jay Higgins at No. 172, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Seth McLaughlin in Round 5, Pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Smith in the 175th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in slot 213 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in pick 223 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick233 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 233rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
