Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Seahawks lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Seahawks shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. With edge rusher and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Junior Colson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in slot 81 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher and running back keeps waiting.
Pick118 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at pick No. 119 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at the 192nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 195 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at No. 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
