Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks cashed the board's mistake on Milroe: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jalen Milroe had no business being available in pick 137, and the Seahawks did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Parr to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at slot 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 50th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
The board had Kaleb Johnson higher than pick 52, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in No. 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter slipping to pick No. 92 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Taking Jalen Milroe in Round 4, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A clean, defensible pick in the 172nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Dorian Strong. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ajani Cornelius in the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 CJ West
Good price on CJ West in slot 223, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr at the 234th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
