Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

Nobody else had Clay Webb anywhere near the 185th overall pick. The Seahawks did, by 60 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Shough falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They reached a country mile for Tate Ratledge at pick 50, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They robbed the room for Elijah Arroyo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick172 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing RJ Harvey in the 172nd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in No. 175 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A wild overpay on Clay Webb in slot 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sam Brown
Sam Brown in pick No. 234 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
