FutureC-
Conviction outran the board for the Seahawks, and it cost them: F. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Hayden Hatten, 77 picks early at No. 236.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Seahawks had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Getting Pritchett where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 12th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 23 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They jumped the gun on Ja'Tavion Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in pick 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 76 on Maason Smith with quarterback unsolved.
Pick78
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in pick No. 78, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with quarterback open.
Pick81
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marshawn Kneeland well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
A curious use of No. 83. Quarterback needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at pick 89 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in the 107th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams at the 115th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went S-EDGE with Jalyx Hunt while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They paid sticker price for Justin Rogers in pick 156, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They liked Kitan Oladapo enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 157. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick164
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 164 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.
Pick191
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at pick No. 194 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jaden Crumedy
A reach on Jaden Crumedy in the 216th pick; the board had better options right there. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick218
Rnd6
Stefon Thompson
Stefon Thompson at Round 6, Pick 43 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick221
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in pick 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick236
Rnd7
Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at No. 236. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
