Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Logan Jones at No. 96 regardless, 31 picks early.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Emmett Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Emmett Johnson in the 64th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in Round 3, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
