Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B.

The Seahawks clearly saw something nobody else did in J'Mond Tapp, taking him 67 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Lee at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cayden Green
In pick 15 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Cole
They will replay Chris Cole at No. 47 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown at slot 79 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
They barely believed it either: Greg Johnson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 37. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in the 102nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Amare Ferrell
They read the board right and Amare Ferrell was the payoff at the 135th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Evans
Fair-plus on Justin Evans, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Quintavius Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quintavius Johnson in the 175th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
Xavier Lucas at Round 5, Pick 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick195 Rnd6 J'Mond Tapp
J'Mond Tapp at No. 195 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at slot 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaleel Johnson
Jaleel Johnson at pick No. 236 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
