Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 15, a good 33 spots before the room expected him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Suamataia value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slid further than he should have, and slot 81 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 102 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They took Dominique Hampton at par in pick 179, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick192 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 192, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached into another round for Frank Gore Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
