Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Laumea should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Sataoa Laumea at Round 6, Pick 18 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
They will replay J.J. McCarthy at No. 77 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
They barely believed it either: Cooper DeJean still on the board at the 79th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
The board fumbled Dominick Puni all the way to slot 115, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at the 152nd overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sataoa Laumea
Taking Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 193 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in pick 236 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
