Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB+
Larceny in slot 210 lands the Seahawks a B+, Higgins and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Seahawks were there to profit. Jay Higgins, the No. 122 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 210th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Every board in the league had Thornton Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Justin Strnad by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at the 24th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in Round 2, Pick 18 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at No. 82 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 123rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at slot 136. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
A clean, defensible pick in pick 173 with a little surplus value in Shemar Turner. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach pick 210 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
Circle this one: DJ Campbell at the 234th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
