Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Seahawks ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good price on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 65, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 101st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in the 118th pick, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick154 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at Round 5, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in the 194th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
By-the-book stuff, Nathaniel Watson at the 236th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
