Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Seahawks: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Kai Kroeger at pick 187. The Seahawks jumped the board by 82 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Bryant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 50 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 82 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 92nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Value said wait; Ty Robinson in the 137th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 173, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kai Kroeger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kai Kroeger this early at slot 187. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick212 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 212 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Circle this one: Akili Arnold at the 236th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
