Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent Round 3, Pick 26 on Fabien Lovett, a name the board had a full 55 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Robinson makes the weekend a net positive. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Good price on Chop Robinson in No. 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in the 57th overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent slot 78 on Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Fabien Lovett
They reached into another round for Fabien Lovett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A straight-up fair deal on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 119, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 19 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They liked Jordan Magee enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 233. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson in the 255th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
