Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Seahawks and Paul Jr.: D-.

Somebody in pick 210 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Seahawks sat still while Chris Paul Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The cost of the Howard reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. T.J. Hockenson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 82nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at slot 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
No edge and no loss on Savion Williams in No. 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
Taking Kalel Mullings in Round 4, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in the 171st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
A clean, defensible pick in No. 183 with a little surplus value in Elijah Arroyo. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 210 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at pick No. 222. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 234th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
