Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 62 spots for Dayon Hayes, and value like that does not grow back. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Howard pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 52 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A slide stopped in the 92nd pick, with Chris Paul Jr. worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in the 137th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at pick 172 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A quiet steal in No. 175: Dorian Strong for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes in Round 7, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
