Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Seahawks. For now, C+.

The Seahawks put a flag in the ground for Trey Zuhn III, 37 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 D'Angelo Ponds
They jumped the gun on D'Angelo Ponds, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick64 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
By-the-book stuff, Michael Taaffe at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caden Curry well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in No. 211 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
