Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks answered their biggest question with Ewers. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Seahawks handed the keys to Quinn Ewers, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Evans pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Ayomanor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
In pick 11 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in Round 2, Pick 11 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mitchell Evans
A tight end of that caliber at the 75th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They talked themselves into Elic Ayomanor at No. 107, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick No. 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd7 Connor Colby
A big swing on Connor Colby at the 203rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
