Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Pieper from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kade Pieper had no business being available in the Round 3 slot, and the Seahawks did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With quarterback and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on tight end is the choice that costs them.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the 17th overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Jamari Johnson, a tight end that was not the priority.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in pick 101 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Devan Thompkins in Round 3, Pick 38, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Zereoue Williams
Zereoue Williams in pick No. 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
They robbed the room for Earl Little Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick176 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
They liked Brandon Inniss enough to skip the value, taking him in the 176th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick178 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
They took Eli Bowen at par in slot 178, which is nothing to complain about. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick213 Rnd6 Eric Singleton Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Eric Singleton Jr. for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryce Hawthorne
Bryce Hawthorne slid further than he should have, and the 238th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
