Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B.

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

The Cooper Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Slaughter at pick No. 57 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deontae Lawson at the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They let Julian Neal come to them and pounced at slot 96. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 4: Omar Cooper Jr. for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in pick 105 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 108 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
They paid up for Demond Claiborne at pick No. 125 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They took Max Iheanachor at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Castell
Value said wait; Jordan Castell in pick 213 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231 Rnd7 James Smith
A conviction pick on James Smith at No. 231 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
