Jeremiah: 3 numbers that illustrate Seattle Seahawks' draft
The Seattle Seahawks have received high marks for their 11-player draft class, with numerous analysts praising their mix of need-filling picks, high-upside swings and overall value.
But how exactly does their draft stack up against the rest of the league?
Very well, according to NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah.

During his final appearance of the spring on Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk, Jeremiah shared some numbers on Wednesday that illustrate what the Seahawks accomplished in the draft. The numbers are based on Jeremiah’s pre-draft ranking of the top 150 prospects in this year’s class.
“Coming on with you guys, I wanted to see where the Seahawks fared,” said Jeremiah, who was a former NFL scout for three different teams. “And again, it’s just off of how I had the players ranked. … I thought (it showed how) they got quantity and quality.”
• 3rd in most top-150 players drafted
The Seahawks drafted six players in Jeremiah’s top 150: South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori (Jeremiah’s No. 15 overall prospect), North Dakota State offensive lineman Grey Zabel (No. 26), Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo (No. 51), Colorado State wide receiver Tory Horton (No. 73), Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe (No. 86) and Notre Dame defensive lineman Rylie Mills (No. 108).
The only teams with more players drafted from Jeremiah’s top 150 were the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns, who each had seven.
• 3rd in total top-150 value
To measure overall value, a point value was assigned to each of Jeremiah’s top 150 prospects. Jeremiah’s No. 1 prospect was assigned 150 points, his No. 2 prospect was assigned 149 points, and so on.
Based on that measure, the Seahawks totaled 547 points for the six players they drafted from Jeremiah’s top 150. Once again, the only teams with more points were the Patriots and Browns.
• 4th in total top-150 value over expected
This takes into account how much value a team added relative to its draft capital.
The Seahawks ended up making five selections in the top 150, drafting at picks 18, 35, 50, 92, 142. Based on the same 150-point scale mentioned above, the total expected value of those five picks adds up to 418 points. That puts Seattle’s value over expected at plus-129 points, which ranked fourth in the league.

With one game to go in Week 14, Bleacher Report’s NFL analysts of Brent Sobleski, Gary Davenport, Kris Knox and Moe Moton did their usual due diligence when it came to winners, losers, and takeaways from the league’s most recent action.
On Sunday afternoon, the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons were tied at 6-6 at intermission. Mike Macdonald’s team outscored their hosts, 31-3, in the second half on the way to a resounding 37-9 win. It was a third straight win for the ‘Hawks since that 21-19 loss to the Rams in Week 11 at SoFi Stadium.
The B/R team’s takeaway from the 28-point win is that it’s time to talk about Macdonald’s club as a “legitimate Super Bowl threat.”
“Despite having an excellent season, the Seattle Seahawks haven’t had a ton of run as a top contender to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LX. After dismantling the Falcons in Atlanta, Seattle should. There wasn’t anything the Seahawks didn’t do well Sunday against the Falcons. Sam Darnold was again effective and efficient throwing the ball. The team didn’t post gaudy numbers running the ball, but it was solid on a per-carry basis. The defense forced multiple second-half turnovers and held Falcons running back Bijan Robinson in check.”
Seattle limited Robinson, who lost a fumble, to 94 total yards from scrimmage. They did not give up a touchdown and allowed only 274 total yards. The Falcons were 1-of-13 on third-down conversions. They seem to be playing their best football of the season and have an opportunity to win their first division title since 2020.
“With a home date with the Los Angeles Rams and a trip to San Francisco still on the schedule, the Seahawks have a real chance to claim first place in the NFC West—and the No. 1 seed in the NFC is still very much in play.”
