Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let Milroe fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jalen Milroe slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery.

The Dumas-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A tidy little value on Jonah Savaiinaea in the 50th pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tai Felton
A wild overpay on Tai Felton in pick 52, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The board had Maxwell Hairston higher than No. 82, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Circle this one: Elic Ayomanor at slot 92 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They will replay Jalen Milroe at pick No. 137 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 175th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Value said wait; Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 185 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at slot 234 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
