The Seahawks let McDonald fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kayden McDonald had no business being available in pick No. 57, and the Seahawks did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 57th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in slot 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 186 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
