Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Seahawks' weekend. D+.

The Seahawks bet big and early on Jalin Conyers, 332 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

They banked enough surplus on Taylor to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ollie Gordon II well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers at No. 50 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
They reached into another round for Aeneas Peebles, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They paid sticker price for Andrew Mukuba in the 82nd overall pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Logan Parr
A real head-scratcher, Logan Parr in pick No. 92 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Teddye Buchanan
A big swing on Teddye Buchanan at Round 4, Pick 35, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in slot 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Circle this one: Donovan Jackson at No. 175 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isas Waxter
A wild overpay on Isas Waxter in Round 7, Pick 7, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick234 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
