Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueD NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Seahawks lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Seahawks spent real capital to be 55 picks early on Donovan Jackson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Thornton Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Donovan Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in slot 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in pick 50 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 82 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 137th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 173rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. is a better player than Round 6, Pick 9 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A big swing on Miles Frazier at slot 212, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Value said wait; Maxen Hook in No. 236 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
