Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Pieper should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Seahawks watched Kade Pieper slide 61 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Seahawks indulged a want in Johnson while a need in edge rusher, linebacker and other spots stayed open. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They are betting Inniss proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Echoles
Will Echoles slipping to slot 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went tight end with Jamari Johnson while clear needs at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in Round 3, Pick 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd3 Anthonie Knapp
Circle this one: Anthonie Knapp at pick No. 102 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kingston Lopa
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 135 on Kingston Lopa with edge rusher, linebacker and other spots unsolved.
Pick156 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
No edge and no loss on Gunner Stockton in No. 156; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen in the 176th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick178 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
Braelin Moore in pick 213 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jay'Vion Cole
Steal is underselling it; Jay'Vion Cole at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
