Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks turned the phones into found money: B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Wesley Williams; the Seahawks did not wait, grabbing him 61 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 37. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That Ponds pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at pick 64 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
Circle this one: D'Angelo Ponds at the 77th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They let Sam Hecht come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Jalon Kilgore, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keylan Rutledge. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
They took Kaelon Black at par in pick 211, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
A tidy bit of business in the 230th pick, where Jimmy Rolder graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Wesley Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
