Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Seahawks spent slot 236 on Arik Gilbert, a name most had 29 spots down the list.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
A clean, defensible pick in slot 16 with a little surplus value in Dallas Turner. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at pick 78 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They jumped the gun on Tyler Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick No. 154 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick194 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Arik Gilbert
Value said wait; Arik Gilbert in the 236th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
