Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let McCord fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Kyle McCord slides to Round 5, Pick 34, you do not overthink it, and the Seahawks did not. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 18th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in pick No. 52: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They went early on Dylan Fairchild in slot 92, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the 137th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 172 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Somehow Cobee Bryant was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 37, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Nice patience on Karene Reid, who had no business lasting to the 223rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 John Williams
They reached into another round for John Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
