Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks found their guy under center in McCarthy: C+.

The search is over. The Seahawks handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Every board in the league had Tupuola-Fetui lower, and that gap is the story. The Suamataia pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. McCarthy this early at the 15th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Taking Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in No. 79 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Beau Brade
No drama and no debate, Beau Brade went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 15. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 152 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
They went early on Dallin Holker in pick 193, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
Eugene Asante at the 236th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
