Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B.

The Seahawks did not so much draft Nathaniel Watson as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Puni steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick81 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They robbed the room for Payton Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
They paid sticker price for DeWayne Carter in slot 102, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dominick Puni reach the 118th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 179th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A wild overpay on Caedan Wallace in Round 6, Pick 17, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick 235 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
