Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 82: the Seahawks steal Mbow and grade out a D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Seahawks shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Mbow at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Adding Dontayvion Wicks by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 18 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick23 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 23 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elic Ayomanor. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A tidy little value on Denzel Burke in the 92nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 4, Pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at pick 173 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues is a better player than the 187th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They barely believed it either: Luke Lachey still on the board at pick No. 212. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
The board fumbled Jamon Dumas-Johnson all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
