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

Thirty-one other rooms let Wyatt Milum slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at the 236th overall pick. Highway robbery.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 18 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Taking Armand Membou in the 50th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in Round 3, Pick 18 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 173 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in pick No. 187, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 212th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at slot 236 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
