FOXY KNOXY DRAFTING FOR THESeahawks

Draft Grade — Seahawks

FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Hood from sliding. Grade: B. The board owed the Seahawks one, and it paid up: Colton Hood, the No. 69 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 3 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Ponds pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots.
If Hughes pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 30th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
The board fumbled Jake Slaughter all the way to pick No. 57, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
Colton Hood
They will replay Colton Hood at the 91st pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at pick 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
A want over a need in No. 118: D'Angelo Ponds adds a cornerback while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick186
Rnd6
Adon Shuler
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adon Shuler. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick195
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
A conviction pick on Makhi Hughes at slot 195 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
