Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 173 lands the Seahawks a B-, Belton and all.

The Seahawks did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Anthony Belton fell into Round 5, Pick 34. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The cost of the Zabel reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In No. 18 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Booker at pick 50 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
No edge and no loss on Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
They robbed the room for Quinn Ewers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at the 173rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 187 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Upton Stout
The board fumbled Upton Stout all the way to the 212th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 236 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
