Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Seahawks bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jordan Whittington at slot 236 is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Seahawks clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 49, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good price on Payton Wilson in pick 75, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 80 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Michael Hall Jr. at the 81st pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 118th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 154th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They jumped the gun on Jared Wiley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick 236 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
