The Solomon reach set a tone the Seahawks could not shake: F. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Seahawks, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
The Seahawks indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Solomon lower, and that gap is the story.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 6th overall pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in pick 39, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at pick No. 70, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A curious use of the 81st pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 88th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 26 on Javon Solomon with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick91
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
They took Ainias Smith at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They went early on Javon Foster in pick 118, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in pick No. 126 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in No. 154. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in slot 194 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
A reach for Xavier Thomas in pick No. 236; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
