Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Seahawks, and a C+ to match.

The Seahawks bet big and early on Caden Curry, 25 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Seahawks indulged a want in Neal while a need in wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots stayed open. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on D'Angelo Ponds and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 D'Angelo Ponds
In pick No. 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Julian Neal
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Julian Neal adds a cornerback and leaves wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the 96th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at No. 211 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
