Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Seahawks, and a C+ to match.

The Jaleel Johnson selection is the head-turner. The Seahawks reached 71 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Seahawks indulged a want in Cole while a need in quarterback and running back stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Hit on Chris Cole and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chris Cole
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Chris Cole at linebacker with quarterback and running back open.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
A surprising call. With quarterback and running back still to address, they spent the 48th pick on Xavier Gilliam, an interior defensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kingston Lopa
A curious use of No. 101. Quarterback and running back needed the pick; a safety in Kingston Lopa did not.
Pick102 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
They will replay Greg Johnson at slot 102 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Reynolds
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Luke Reynolds, a tight end that was not the priority.
Pick155 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen in the 155th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Whit Weeks graded well above the range. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick178 Rnd5 Isaiah Sategna III
They liked Isaiah Sategna III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 178th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaden Platt
Jaden Platt in the 197th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaleel Johnson
Jaleel Johnson at slot 213 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sheridan Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Sheridan Wilson in pick 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
