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

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Seahawks to leave a draft.

The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in the 78th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mekhi Wingo in No. 81. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Value with a capital V on Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at pick 154. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the 194th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Erick All
A reach on Erick All in slot 236; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
