Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Seahawks cashed the board's mistake on Starks: B.

The Seahawks spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, in the Round 2 slot. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Marshall Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 50th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick 52 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in the 82nd pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Nice patience on Barrett Carter, who had no business lasting to No. 92. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 4, Pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin slid further than he should have, and slot 172 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jason Marshall Jr. a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They took Carson Vinson at par in No. 223, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah slipping to pick No. 234 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
