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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Seahawks took Khalil Barnes a full 26 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Lee III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
They jumped the gun on Deontae Lawson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at pick 92 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207 Rnd6 Khalil Barnes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Khalil Barnes well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
