Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesC+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Seahawks spent slot 245 on Jaleel Johnson, a name most had 39 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Little Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and running back still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In slot 24 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kade Pieper at the 55th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
They will replay Greg Johnson at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
No edge and no loss on Iapani Laloulu in the 100th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A want over a need in No. 135: Earl Little Jr. adds a safety while quarterback and running back keeps waiting.
Pick161 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Bowen. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick175 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Whit Weeks in slot 175. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177 Rnd5 Isaiah Sategna III
A conviction pick on Isaiah Sategna III at pick 177 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Drew Azzopardi
No drama and no debate, Drew Azzopardi went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 22. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Eli Finley
Eli Finley at the 213th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaleel Johnson
Value said wait; Jaleel Johnson in pick No. 245 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
