Draft Grade — Seahawks

FutureD-
A weekend the Seahawks spent fighting the board, and losing. F. Some picks age like wine; Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 236 will need to, sitting 69 spots clear of his grade.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker and quarterback.
The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
A straight-up fair deal on Taliese Fuaga at the 18th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 39, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A reach on Chris Braswell in slot 43; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 80 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker and quarterback to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
A conviction pick on Ainias Smith at Round 4, Pick 7 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 108th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
DJ James
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with DJ James while clear needs at linebacker and quarterback sat open.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalyx Hunt at S-EDGE with linebacker and quarterback open.
Pick118
Rnd4
James Williams
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at No. 154 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in slot 156 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick157
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They liked Zion Tupuola-Fetui enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 21. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They took AJ Barner at par in pick 194, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.J. Weaver in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ryan Flournoy well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
