Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Seahawks turned the phones into found money: B+.

Nobody else had DeMonte Capehart anywhere near pick 233. The Seahawks did, by 65 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 59, where Graham Barton graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 87th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in pick 119 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 151. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A slide stopped in the 194th overall pick, with Frank Gore Jr. worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the 233rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They reached into another round for Kurtis Rourke, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
