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

You build a draft on nights like this. Kamal Hadden had no business being available in the 192nd overall pick, and the Seahawks did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 81: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Johnny Wilson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in pick 118, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at the 179th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in pick No. 192 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
