Ranking shows the value Seahawks got from NFL Draft

Despite entering last month’s NFL Draft with limited draft capital, the Seattle Seahawks swung several trades and appeared to get good value from their top four picks.

A breakdown from NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah added further credence to that notion.

Jeremiah, one of the NFL’s leading draft analysts, posted a chart on social media that aims to quantify how much value each team got from its picks.

Jeremiah assigned an expected point value to each of the draft’s top 150 picks, with the the No. 1 overall pick assigned 150 expected points, the No. 2 overall pick assigned 149 expected points, and so on.

Jeremiah then assigned the same point value system to the players in his pre-draft ranking of the draft’s top 150 prospects, with his No. 1 prospect assigned 150 points, his No. 2 prospect assigned 149 points, and so on.

That allowed Jeremiah to compare how much value a team got from drafting a specific player, compared to how much value the team was expected to get with that specific pick.

Here’s a breakdown of what that looked like for the Seahawks:

• RB Jadarian Price

No. 32 overall pick (119 expected points)
No. 34 in Jeremiah’s pre-draft rankings (117 points)
Net difference: -2 points

• S Bud Clark

No. 64 overall pick (87 expected points)
No. 58 in Jeremiah’s pre-draft rankings (93 points)
Net difference: +6 points

• CB Julian Neal

No. 99 overall pick (52 expected points)
No. 86 in Jeremiah’s pre-draft rankings (65 points)
Net difference: +13 points

• G Beau Stephens

No. 148 overall pick (3 expected points)
No. 137 in Jeremiah’s pre-draft rankings (14 points)
Net difference: +11 points

Based on Jeremiah’s scale, the Seahawks ended up with 289 total points from the top four players they drafted, compared to 261 expected points from where they drafted those four players.

Jeremiah then divided the former number from the latter, which gave the Seahawks a 110.7% draft value based on his formula. Seattle’s 110.7% draft value ranked 10th out of 32 teams.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks’ two biggest rivals in the NFC West ranked among the worst in draft value by Jeremiah’s formula. The Los Angeles Rams ranked 29th at 64.7%, while the San Francisco 49ers ranked dead-last at 50.6%.

For context, both Super Bowl teams this past season ranked in the top three by Jeremiah’s formula for the 2025 draft, with the Seahawks ranking third and the New England Patriots ranking second.
