Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Seahawks did exactly that with Jared Wiley in No. 181.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
No drama and no debate, Jared Verse went about where he belonged in No. 16. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A slide stopped in the 90th pick, with Payton Wilson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They paid up for Jaden Hicks at pick 100 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick118 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 5, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 James Williams
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in the 181st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
They jumped the gun on Jabbar Muhammad, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in Round 7, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A premium they did not need to pay, Nathaniel Watson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
