Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Stutsman should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Danny Stutsman slides to pick No. 171, you do not overthink it, and the Seahawks did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 18th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 50 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Deone Walker for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Taking Luke Kandra in slot 136 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in No. 183 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Value with a capital V on Jack Kiser in the 210th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Steal is underselling it; Karene Reid at Round 7, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
