Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Taylor should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Mason Taylor got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at the 173rd pick.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 20 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at the 82nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 136th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 173 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ricky White III
They paid a round early for Ricky White III in No. 184, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Logan Parr
They talked themselves into Logan Parr at the 210th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
