Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Seahawks turned the phones into found money: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jalin Conyers; the Seahawks did not wait, grabbing him 139 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They banked enough surplus on Shough to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 50 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They talked themselves into Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 82, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in the 92nd pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 97th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 22 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Lathan Ransom in the 137th pick leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick140 Rnd5 CJ West
A wild overpay on CJ West in Round 5, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 173 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach slot 187 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at pick 212 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
