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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jalen Milroe tumbling to the Seahawks in Round 3, Pick 15 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will need Lachey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 14th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 16 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 79 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at slot 115 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 136th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A big swing on Luke Lachey at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Somehow Jermari Harris was still sitting there in No. 193, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick210 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Collin Oliver well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Makari Paige
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Makari Paige in pick No. 228, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
