Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Seahawks walked right past. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They are betting McLachlan proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the 81st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
A reach on DeWayne Carter in Round 4, Pick 2; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 118 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at the 179th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at No. 192 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
A tidy little value on Julian Pearl in slot 235, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
