Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Seahawks for Gould: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Anthony Gould slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 27. Highway robbery.

They will need Bishop to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Cole Bishop
They reached a country mile for Cole Bishop at slot 62, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Good price on Cade Stover in No. 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 102nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 113 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid up for Isaac Guerendo at the 118th pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 James Williams
You do not let a linebacker like James Williams reach pick No. 179 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in Round 6, Pick 17 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
The board fumbled Anthony Gould all the way to the 202nd pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at pick No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at No. 235 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
