Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 210th pick: the Seahawks steal Singleton and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nicholas Singleton got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at the 210th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 20 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a safety like Jahdae Barron reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 136th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in slot 173 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Donovan Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Jackson at the 187th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to pick No. 210, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
A tidy bit of business in pick 236, where Ben Yurosek graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
