Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Starks should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Malaki Starks slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at slot 52. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Wilson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
They took Jalon Walker at par in the 18th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A reach on Jayden Higgins in No. 50; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 52nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Fairchild at pick 92, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at pick No. 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
