Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Nix is the Seahawks' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Seahawks' quarterback, full stop. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Stover to cover a lot of smaller sins.

With edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 18 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
A straight-up fair deal on Bo Nix at No. 23, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at slot 119 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in the 150th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at pick No. 151. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick194 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at pick 194 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick No. 233 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
