Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Seahawks for Logan Jr.: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kenny Logan Jr. got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at slot 233. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 14. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Nice patience on Brandon Dorlus, who had no business lasting to pick No. 81. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 DJ James
They did well to land DJ James in pick 119, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 151st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
They let Ethan Driskell come to them and pounced at slot 194. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kenny Logan Jr. still on the board at the 233rd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
