Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Seahawks.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Seahawks shredded theirs for Trey Zuhn III. He came off 37 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 D'Angelo Ponds
In pick 32 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Taaffe. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caden Curry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Caden Curry in slot 96, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A big swing on Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 211, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
