Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

The Seahawks treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 3 slot on Darius Robinson a full 43 spots early.

That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 32 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in slot 58, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached a country mile for Leonard Taylor III at No. 81, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Travis at the 151st pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at Round 6, Pick 19 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at No. 233. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
You do not let a wide receiver like Jha'Quan Jackson reach slot 254 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in pick No. 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
