The Seattle Seahawks draft grade is a C+ with mixed feelings surrounding their picks. On the positive side, they were able to address a key need by selecting defensive lineman Byron Murphy II, who could be a disruptive force for their defense. Additionally, Christian Haynes, an offensive lineman from UConn, has the potential to compete for a starting role and make an immediate impact.
However, their Day 3 picks were less inspiring, especially without a second-round pick due to a trade. Their least favorite pick was Tyrice Knight, a linebacker from UTEP selected 118th overall. Knight may not be ready to play in the NFL and is likely to become more of a special teams player than a starting linebacker.
On the other hand, their favorite pick was Christian Haynes, chosen 81st overall. Haynes has the skill to start right away and could prove to be a steal for the Seahawks in the long run. Overall, the Seahawks draft picks included Byron Murphy II, Christian Haynes, Tyrice Knight, AJ Barner, Nehemiah Pritchett, Sataoa Laumea
