FutureA-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B to prove it. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent pick 247 on Ethan Downs, a name the board had a full 39 spots lower.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Loveland. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in pick 18 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They reached a country mile for Dylan Fairchild at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Value with a capital V on Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 92, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 118 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick137
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
No drama and no debate, Mello Dotson went about where he belonged in the 137th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Seth McLaughlin in Round 5, Pick 10, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Fair-plus on Chase Lundt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at slot 233 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the 234th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
The board fumbled Kyle Monangai all the way to pick No. 239, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
The board had cheaper options than Teddye Buchanan at No. 240, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ethan Downs well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
