Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 81st pick lands the Seahawks a B-, Orhorhoro and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ruke Orhorhoro had no business being available in the Round 3 slot, and the Seahawks did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The All reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 60 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They did well to land Roger Rosengarten in the 102nd pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Erick All
A premium they did not need to pay, Erick All a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 6, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in slot 192 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson is a better player than pick 235 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
