Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks clearly saw something nobody else did in Maason Smith, taking him 23 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Seahawks indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher and wide receiver stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in Round 3, Pick 17, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Maason Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maason Smith in the 88th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher and wide receiver untouched.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in slot 179 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A quiet steal in pick No. 192: Ty'Ron Hopper for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at Round 7, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
