Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Seahawks to a D-.

The Seahawks looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ryan Flournoy at pick 236 regardless, 69 picks early. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with quarterback and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 16th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 18 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 22 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 50th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick 78; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of pick No. 80. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 17 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with quarterback and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick97 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 97th overall pick on Javon Solomon with quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick107 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at quarterback and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 115. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at Round 4, Pick 18 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in pick No. 154. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 172 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Harrell at the 194th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in the 236th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
