Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks torched the value chart for James Williams, taking him 55 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

On value alone, McGregor makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in No. 47 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 61st pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 70th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 81 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
Value said wait; James Williams in slot 118 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
The board had Tip Reiman higher than No. 179, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 192 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They paid a round early for Tyler Owens in slot 235, more than the board wanted. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
