Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Seahawks to leave a draft. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Reaching for Washington Jr. left real value on the table behind him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
In the 32nd overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Mike Washington Jr.
They jumped the gun on Mike Washington Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They let Connor Lew come to them and pounced at the 96th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
