Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Seahawks a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Seahawks would have aced it. Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 236 is 69 spots clear of where he belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in No. 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 18th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 43 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zach Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 58th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 70 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 80 on Cade Stover with quarterback unsolved.
Pick81 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A curious use of the 107th overall pick. Quarterback needed the pick; a S-EDGE in Jalyx Hunt did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 118 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They took Jaylen Wright at par in the 154th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 19, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 236 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
