Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Seahawks for Thornton Jr.: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dont'e Thornton Jr. got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at No. 234. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Mills reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 50 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in pick 52, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
A wild overpay on Rylie Mills in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They robbed the room for Elijah Arroyo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Taking Jalen Milroe in Round 4, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Alex Mastromanno
A real head-scratcher, Alex Mastromanno in the 172nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick175 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at pick No. 175 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 CJ West
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ West at Round 7, Pick 7 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 234 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
