Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Ransom from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Seahawks did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Lathan Ransom fell into the 223rd overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Lampkin lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach pick 50 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at No. 52. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the 82nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in pick No. 92 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Riley Leonard in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Carson Vinson
They reached a country mile for Carson Vinson at the 172nd pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Elzinga this early at slot 175. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in the 223rd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at pick 234, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
