Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C

The Seahawks did enough to get by: C.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Xavier Gilliam at pick No. 15, a reach of 54 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The Pieper pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will answer for taking interior defensive lineman early while wide receiver, linebacker and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

So much rides on Xavier Gilliam that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Xavier Gilliam
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Xavier Gilliam at interior defensive lineman with wide receiver, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went tight end with Jamari Johnson while clear needs at wide receiver, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
The board fumbled Kade Pieper all the way to pick 79, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 101st pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in Round 3, Pick 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Wide receiver, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Earl Little Jr. did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Evans
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Evans in the 152nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
Good price on Xavier Lucas in slot 175, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick178 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
A tidy little value on Elijah Paige in Round 5, Pick 41, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 John Nestor
John Nestor at the 195th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick214 Rnd6 J'Mond Tapp
J'Mond Tapp in pick No. 214 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.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaleel Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Jaleel Johnson in No. 236 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
