Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Seahawks never got to the one that mattered most.

Reaching for Oladapo left real value on the table behind him. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 17th pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Value with a capital V on Payton Wilson in pick No. 78, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Good price on Michael Hall Jr. in slot 96, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
By-the-book stuff, Sataoa Laumea at pick 118 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 154th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey in No. 194 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
No drama and no debate, Joshua Cephus went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 16. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
