Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Seahawks drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: F.

The Seahawks clearly saw something nobody else did in Hayden Hatten, taking him 129 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while linebacker, running back and other spots went begging. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. The Nubin pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in the 74th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Beebe this early at pick No. 78. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 81st overall pick on Maason Smith with linebacker, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in pick No. 89 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marshawn Kneeland. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They paid sticker price for Sincere Haynesworth in pick 154, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cole Bishop in the 159th pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
The board had Ainias Smith higher than Round 5, Pick 31, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Hayden Hatten
They reached into another round for Hayden Hatten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 214 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Toles
Jordan Toles at the 216th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick218 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jeremiah Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeremiah Walker well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in No. 255 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at Round 7, Pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
