Draft Grade — Seahawks

Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 4: the Seahawks steal Williams and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. James Williams sat on the board until slot 179, and the Seahawks did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Watson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 16th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 81st pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 18 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 James Williams
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, James Williams in pick No. 179, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at slot 192 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in No. 235 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
