Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
The Seahawks kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Seahawks clearly saw something nobody else did in Jackson Hawes, taking him 61 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Landing Helm that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 50th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in the 85th pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Arroyo at slot 86 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 20: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at the 137th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 173rd pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick No. 187 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 CJ West
No drama and no debate, CJ West went about where he belonged in pick 210. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Clay Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Clay Webb in No. 212, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
