Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Abney II from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Keith Abney II got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at pick 96. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Reaching for Siereveld left real value on the table behind him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 32 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Austin Siereveld
A wild overpay on Austin Siereveld in the 64th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Circle this one: Keith Abney II at the 96th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes at slot 213 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
