Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Seahawks robbed the room for Higgins. Final grade: D.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jay Higgins got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 234.

The Pierce reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They did well to land Tate Ratledge in slot 37, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in Round 2, Pick 18, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at No. 73, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A reach on Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at the 136th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 183 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 234th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
