The Seattle Seahawks received a mixed evaluation for their draft choices. They had a C+ overall grade. The team made significant improvements with their first-round and third-round selections. Byron Murphy II, a defensive lineman from Washington, was selected 23rd overall and could potentially cause disruptions on the field. Christian Haynes, an offensive lineman from UConn, was taken 81st overall and has the talent to start immediately, which is crucial for a team looking for starting guards.
On Day 3 of the draft, the Seahawks faced some challenges since they did not have a second-round pick due to a previous trade involving Leonard Williams. Despite this setback, they were able to find some promising prospects in Tyrice Knight, a linebacker from UTEP (118th overall), AJ Barner (120th overall), Nehemiah Pritchett (157th overall), Sataoa Laumea (166th overall), D.J. James (174th overall), and Michael Jerrell (179th overall). Each pick brought its strengths and weaknesses to the team.
Overall, the Seattle Seahawks had a solid draft that addressed some of their positional needs while also bringing in some potential starting caliber players who could make an immediate impact on the field.
