Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Seahawks.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Seahawks shredded theirs for Trajan Jeffcoat. He came off 73 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 19 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in Round 3, Pick 23, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 96th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in slot 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in the 154th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 19 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
They reached a country mile for Trajan Jeffcoat at pick 235, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
