The overall grade for the Seattle Seahawks in the draft is a C+. It’s a mixed feeling when evaluating their draft choices. The team added a potentially disruptive defensive lineman in Byron Murphy II, addressing a position of need. They also found a potential starting offensive lineman in Christian Haynes in the third round. However, their Day 3 picks were not as strong, especially since they did not have a second-round pick due to a previous trade involving Leonard Williams.

One favorite pick from the draft was Christian Haynes, a guard from UConn selected 81st overall. Haynes has the talent to start immediately, which is essential for a team looking for starting guards. This pick could have an immediate impact and may prove to be a steal for the Seahawks in the long run.

On the other hand, one of the least favorite picks was Tyrice Knight, a linebacker from UTEP selected 118th overall. The linebacker class in this draft was already weak, and Knight may not be ready to compete in the NFL. While there is potential for growth under head coach Mike Macdonald, Knight may end up being relegated to special teams duties.

The Seahawks’ draft picks included Byron Murphy II in the first round, Christian Haynes in the third round, Tyrice Knight in the fourth round, AJ Barner in the fourth round, Nehemiah Pritchett in the fifth round, Sataoa Laumea in the sixth round, D.J. James in the sixth round, and Michael Jerrell in the sixth round. Each pick brings its own strengths and weaknesses to the team.
