Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let Gabriel fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Dillon Gabriel at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The McLeod pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 18 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They read the board right and Jihaad Campbell was the payoff at pick No. 50. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in slot 82, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
A wild overpay on Jalen McLeod in the 137th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 173rd pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A big swing on Ricky White III at Round 6, Pick 9, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They went early on Clay Webb in pick 236, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
