Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Seahawks took Trevor Keegan a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 16 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A big swing on Maason Smith at the 81st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at slot 118, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They took Dominique Hampton at par in pick No. 179, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick 235 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
