Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks robbed the room for Hampton. Final grade: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Seahawks did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Hampton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cost of the Colby reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 18 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value.
Pick50 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at No. 50 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A conviction pick on Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 52 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
No edge and no loss on Sebastian Castro in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in pick No. 92. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the 137th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid a round early for Connor Colby in No. 172, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Nothing to complain about; Robert Longerbeam went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
