Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Seahawks did exactly that with Jermari Harris in the 137th pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They jumped the gun on Elijah Arroyo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A quiet steal in the 82nd overall pick: Cameron Williams for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in Round 3, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in No. 133 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 137 on Jermari Harris with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick172 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in the 172nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 175th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Hawes this early at slot 223. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick No. 234 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
