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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Donovan Edwards got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at slot 234. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ezeiruaku reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Armand Membou
A straight-up fair deal on Armand Membou at pick 18, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in No. 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid a round early for Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 52, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They jumped the gun on Jared Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 4, Pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Kiser. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nick Nash
You do not let a wide receiver like Nick Nash reach slot 175 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, R.J. Mickens in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 234th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
