Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Seahawks, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The cost of the Farmer reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Starks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in No. 50; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 52 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They reached a country mile for Joshua Farmer at the 85th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of the 92nd pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in pick 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 35, with Emery Jones Jr. worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Nothing to complain about; Seth McLaughlin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ricky White III in pick 223. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
They liked Thomas Fidone II enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 18. A need, and now a little less of one.
