Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Seahawks a B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent Round 7, Pick 20 on Tim Smith, a name the board had a full 96 spots lower.

The Harris value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zak Zinter in slot 65, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 3, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 95th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached into another round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in the 101st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 108 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick114 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
They reached a country mile for Jordan Burch at pick No. 122, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
They talked themselves into Donovan Edwards at Round 4, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the 158th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek in No. 159 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeWayne Carter. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Montrell Johnson Jr.
Value said wait; Montrell Johnson Jr. in the 200th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
No edge and no loss on Chau Smith-Wade in pick 205; it is a wash and a sensible one. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at Round 7, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 242nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick No. 243 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in slot 255 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
Somehow Dominic Lovett was still sitting there in pick 256, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
