FOXY KNOXY DRAFTING FOR THESeahawks
Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-. There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Seahawks never got to the one that mattered most. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
They will need Ponds to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They banked enough surplus on Slaughter to cover a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
Fair-plus on Kayden McDonald, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in the 64th pick, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A reach for D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick212
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 212th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
