Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Seahawks started one anyway for Josh Proctor, 22 picks ahead of schedule. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
They took JC Latham at par in pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in No. 78, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They jumped the gun on Zak Zinter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at the 118th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick No. 154 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick194 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A straight-up fair deal on Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Erick All
They paid a round early for Erick All in No. 236, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
