Seahawks' 2026 Draft Earns Tepid National Grades

National media reacted tepidly to the Seahawks’ 2026 draft, with a mix of grades from A to C- and several lukewarm takes: USA Today gave an A while PFF, NBC Sports, and The Ringer posted lower marks; NFL.com graded the class across three days (Day 1 B, Day 2 A-, Day 3 B+); Underdog NFL placed Seattle 27th of 32; Sports Illustrated was positive with a B; CBS Sports was critical with a C.
