Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Seahawks: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Seahawks never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Washington Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Howell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
The board had Cashius Howell higher than No. 32, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 Mike Washington Jr.
They paid up for Mike Washington Jr. at pick 64 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
