Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 25 spots for Tyler Baron, and value like that does not grow back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Will Johnson
They took Will Johnson at par in No. 18, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Value said wait; Tate Ratledge in pick 53 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 82nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 92 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 4, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at slot 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 172 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They went early on Connor Colby in the 175th pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Luke Lachey for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 234th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
