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

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Seahawks to leave a draft.

Washington at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Fair-plus on Christian Mahogany, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 118 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in the 179th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy bit of business in slot 192, where Tahj Washington graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A clean, defensible pick in the 235th overall pick with a little surplus value in Evan Williams. A minor need, but a need all the same.
