Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks cashed the board's mistake on Brooks: B.

Somebody in pick No. 223 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Seahawks sat still while Tahj Brooks, the No. 192 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They are betting Gray proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick52 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Landon Jackson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 82nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A reach for Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 92; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
They took Kurtis Rourke at par in No. 137, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 172nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 175 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in slot 223, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Lane at the 234th overall pick is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
