Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let Helm fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Seahawks one, and it paid up: Gunnar Helm, the No. 91 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

They are betting Hawes proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 18 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than slot 50 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in the 85th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at Round 4, Pick 20. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A premium they did not need to pay, Logan Brown a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in the 172nd pick, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick175 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at the 223rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A real head-scratcher, Logan Parr in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
