Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jackson Mitchell; the Seahawks did not wait, grabbing him 37 spots ahead at pick No. 235. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor-Demerson. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Junior Colson
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in Round 2, Pick 32 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at slot 86 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Nice patience on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, who had no business lasting to pick 102. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
They reached into another round for Dallin Holker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Newton in No. 127. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick179 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Good price on Grayson Murphy in pick 179, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
The board had Jha'Quan Jackson higher than the 192nd overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jackson Mitchell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Mitchell in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in Round 7, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
