FreshK DRAFTING FOR THESeahawks

FutureB-
The Seahawks bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B-. The Seahawks spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots. Getting Gore Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cost of the Nourzad reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in pick 61. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at slot 119 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They read the board right and Malik Mustapha was the payoff at pick No. 151. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick194
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 194th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
