Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB+ FutureC-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Seahawks: C+.

The Seahawks did not so much draft Emory Jones as overpay for him, 233 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Franklin. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 15 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick77 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 77th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 79 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
They reached into another round for Ty'Ron Hopper, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cedric Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 20 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They read the board right and Donovan Jackson was the payoff at the 126th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in Round 5, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They went early on Keith Randolph Jr. in No. 152, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick No. 188 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in pick 193, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in the 198th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd6 Emory Jones
A big swing on Emory Jones at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A reach on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 236; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 241st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
