The Barrett reach set a tone the Seahawks could not shake: F. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Seahawks shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Barrett reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still on the board.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left wide receiver open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
A straight-up fair deal on Jer'Zhan Newton at pick 11, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick16
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick42
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Zach Frazier at slot 49, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Junior Colson
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in pick No. 78. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 80th pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A want over a need in No. 81: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick107
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A curious use of the 107th pick. Wide receiver, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalyx Hunt at S-EDGE with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick118
Rnd4
James Williams
A reach on James Williams in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They liked Kitan Oladapo enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 154. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick156
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A conviction pick on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 156 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
