Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks did not so much draft Will Sheppard as overpay for him, 76 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Landing Mondon Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 18th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, a steep price for the projection.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 50 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Value said wait; Jaxson Dart in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 136 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 173rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at No. 184 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick210 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
A real head-scratcher, Will Sheppard in Round 6, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at pick No. 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
