Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Seahawks let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaylin Simpson, Round 6, Pick 4, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Zinter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 25 with a little surplus value in Chop Robinson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at pick 81 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They liked Zak Zinter enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
No drama and no debate, DeWayne Carter went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 2. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 179th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanner McLachlan a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Nice patience on Frank Gore Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 235. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
