Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Seahawks.

Nobody else had Marquise Lightfoot anywhere near pick 176. The Seahawks did, by 64 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Getting Pieper where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. With quarterback and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on interior defensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the 17th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went interior defensive lineman with Xavier Gilliam while clear needs at quarterback and running back sat open.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in pick No. 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kingston Lopa
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Kingston Lopa, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Shadre Hurst
They went early on Shadre Hurst in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen at pick 155 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick176 Rnd5 Marquise Lightfoot
Marquise Lightfoot at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
A premium they did not need to pay, Brandon Inniss a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brody Foley
The board had cheaper options than Brody Foley at Round 6, Pick 34, and it noticed. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A big swing on Jalen Thompson at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
