ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Seahawks and McGlothern: B-.

The board owed the Seahawks one, and it paid up: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, sitting there at the 235th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Rosengarten to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
The board had Christian Haynes higher than No. 81, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 102 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
No edge and no loss on Fabien Lovett in slot 179; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at the 192nd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
