Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Seahawks fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Seahawks treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 13 on Xavier Thomas a full 45 spots early.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Braswell steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

It is not that Hunt is a bad player; it is that the Seahawks had louder needs to answer first. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 22nd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 78 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 17 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in slot 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalyx Hunt at S-EDGE with running back and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in the 155th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 24 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
By-the-book stuff, Michael Barrett at slot 186 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They went early on AJ Barner in pick No. 194, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in No. 233 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
