Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Seahawks bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Seahawks, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Seahawks had louder needs to answer first. They will need Barner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

So much rides on Troy Fautanu that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Junior Colson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They paid up for Cole Bishop at pick No. 97 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in No. 102, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
A surprising call. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent pick 118 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick154 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in slot 154 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in the 192nd pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
