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

Somebody in No. 187 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Seahawks sat still while Kyle McCord, the No. 120 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Ritzie proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 18th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in No. 50, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick No. 82 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
A big swing on Willie Lampkin at the 137th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in Round 5, Pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
They will replay Kyle McCord at pick 187 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at slot 236 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
