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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Seahawks walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Vidal reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Zinter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in the 16th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach for Dominick Puni in pick 81; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in No. 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A tidy bit of business in the 118th pick, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 James Williams
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They went early on Kimani Vidal in pick No. 192, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Good price on Trey Taylor in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
