Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Seahawks reached for Frazier and never recovered. Grade: F.

The phones were a trap the Seahawks kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots. The cost of the Frazier reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left wide receiver open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 8 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 16th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Quinyon Mitchell graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zach Frazier. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 70th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 78 with a little surplus value in Junior Colson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of No. 81. Wide receiver, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at Round 4, Pick 18 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 145 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
