Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Seahawks to leave a draft. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Jenkins lower, and that gap is the story. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kris Jenkins
In pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in the 81st pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They did well to land Theo Johnson in No. 154, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at slot 194, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
No drama and no debate, Nathaniel Watson went about where he belonged in pick No. 236. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
