Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Daniels is the plan now, and the Seahawks grade out a D.

The phones were a trap the Seahawks kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

With edge rusher and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 8 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 58 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 74th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They read the board right and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick No. 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher and running back still to address, they spent the 81st overall pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick85 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 James Williams
Taking James Williams in No. 154 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A straight-up fair deal on De'Corian Clark at No. 194, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A clean, defensible pick in pick 236 with a little surplus value in Matthew Jones. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
