Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Seahawks did not so much draft Eli Heidenreich as overpay for him, 30 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Ponds at that price is a win they earned.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 64 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
They reached a country mile for Jaishawn Barham at slot 96, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the 211th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
