Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD-
A weekend the Seahawks spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The Seahawks clearly saw something nobody else did in Jaden Crumedy, taking him 38 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It bottoms out at a F.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 6 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A big swing on Zach Frazier at pick No. 39, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They did well to land Ja'Tavion Sanders in No. 58, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in the 70th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick No. 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A conviction pick on Ainias Smith at the 107th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A curious use of No. 115. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a S-EDGE in Jalyx Hunt did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They paid a round early for Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 18, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick 126 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A premium they did not need to pay, Zion Tupuola-Fetui a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Chris Morris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chris Morris. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
