Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks robbed the room for Gabriel. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dillon Gabriel slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at the 175th overall pick. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Burch reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 18 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 50th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They took Trey Amos at par in Round 2, Pick 20, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at pick No. 82 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick172 Rnd5 Connor Colby
No edge and no loss on Connor Colby in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the 175th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jabbar Muhammad. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
