Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did enough to get by: C+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Caden Curry at Round 2, Pick 32 is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The final tally is a middling C+.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on D'Angelo Ponds that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 D'Angelo Ponds
In No. 32 they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at slot 96 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in the 211th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
