Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Smael Mondon Jr. sat on the board until pick 136, and the Seahawks did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 20 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 51 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 84th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in slot 173 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at the 187th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tory Horton
They robbed the room for Tory Horton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick 236 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
