Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Seahawks took Mason Taylor at the 50th pick, roughly 28 spots before his name belonged.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Borregales where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 18th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 50 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 52 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They let Ozzy Trapilo come to them and pounced at the 92nd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in Round 4, Pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in pick 172 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick175 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They took Willie Lampkin at par in the 175th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
