This innovative metric combines player performance grades across multiple aspects of the game with their relative importance to winning. Using WAA, the Seahawks ranked 13th overall among all 32 teams, with standout performances from their draft picks.

Grey Zabel, the first-round pick, is projected to achieve an impressive three-year grade of 88.2, suggesting elite potential. Second-round pick Nick Emmanwori also shows promise with a projected grade of 83.0. Additionally, wide receiver Tory Horton is anticipated to develop into a significant asset with a projected score of 90.3, while running back Damien Martinez boasts an even more impressive 93.4. Quarterback Jalen Milroe's projected grade of 88.9 hints at a bright future, potentially establishing him as the franchise quarterback to succeed Sam Darnold.
