Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Seahawks fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Ewers makes the weekend a net positive. The David Long Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They will need McMillan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 24th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reach on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 56th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
The board had cheaper options than Jalen McMillan at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at slot 81 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 118 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A straight-up fair deal on Zion Logue at No. 236, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
