Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Nolan Rucci at pick No. 211, a reach of 43 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Ponds at that price is a win they earned.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 32nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick64 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A quiet steal in pick No. 64: D'Angelo Ponds for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They paid up for Caden Curry at slot 96 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at Round 6, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
