Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB+
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Seahawks spent the 241st overall pick on Gino Garcia, a name most had 57 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Loveland. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Danielle Hunter deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A conviction pick on Donovan Jackson at slot 50 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in the 52nd pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid up for Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 3, Pick 18 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 CJ West
They jumped the gun on CJ West, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They went early on Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 7, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Phil Mafah for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A wild overpay on Gino Garcia in the 241st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
