Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Seahawks spent real capital to be 32 picks early on Shemar Turner, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Bech at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The Seahawks indulged a want in Sauls while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 18 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than slot 50, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 82nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They will replay Jack Bech at No. 92 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ben Sauls
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Ben Sauls at specialist with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach No. 172 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Good price on Chase Lundt in pick 175, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They let R.J. Mickens come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 7. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at slot 234 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
