Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Seahawks skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Every board in the league had Driskell lower, and that gap is the story. The Zinter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham at pick 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in No. 81, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at slot 102, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 18, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the 179th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
By-the-book stuff, Rasheen Ali at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
They paid a round early for Ethan Driskell in pick No. 235, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
