Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend 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.

That Ford pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Reaching for Henderson left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 16th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at Round 3, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick 118 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A reach for LaDarius Henderson in No. 154; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board had Blake Watson higher than the 236th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
