Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Seahawks to a D-.

The Roger Rosengarten pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 33 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Barner falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 16 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A reach on Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the 81st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at pick 102, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They jumped the gun on Tanor Bortolini, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 AJ Barner
Value with a capital V on AJ Barner in the 179th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
The board had Jordan Jefferson higher than slot 192, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in the 235th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
