Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a F for the Seahawks.

The Seahawks looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 81 regardless, 49 picks early. It bottoms out at a F.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Spending an early pick on safety with running back, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Greenfield makes the weekend a net positive. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They paid sticker price for Dallas Turner in the 16th pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Fair-plus on Calen Bullock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 3, Pick 17 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With running back, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the 119th overall pick on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick151 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A reach on Luke McCaffrey in No. 151; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 194 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They read the board right and Garret Greenfield was the payoff at the 233rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
