Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA
Larceny in the 252nd overall pick lands the Seahawks a B, Bertrand and all.

Somebody in slot 252 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Seahawks sat still while JD Bertrand, the No. 223 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. If Tupuola-Fetui pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They read the board right and J.J. McCarthy was the payoff at No. 38. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in the 96th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slipping to Round 4, Pick 2 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at slot 118 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in pick No. 146 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
A reach for McKinnley Jackson in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 James Williams
They did well to land James Williams in pick 179, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 192nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Taking Jalen Coker in No. 235 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
You do not let a linebacker like JD Bertrand reach pick No. 252 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
