Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 52 spots for Jackson Slater, and value like that does not grow back.

Landing Leonard that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 52nd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at Round 3, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at No. 92, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in the 137th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Value with a capital V on Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 34, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They barely believed it either: Ben Sauls still on the board at the 175th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick223 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
They robbed the room for Antwane Wells Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Value said wait; Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 234 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
