Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Seahawks get a C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on J'Mond Tapp; the Seahawks did not wait, grabbing him 49 spots ahead at the Round 6 slot. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pieper. The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and running back still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Leonard Moore and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
A surprising call. With quarterback and running back still to address, they spent pick No. 16 on Leonard Moore, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
A want over a need in pick 47: Xavier Gilliam adds an interior defensive lineman while quarterback and running back keeps waiting.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at the 80th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 101 on Terrance Carter Jr. with quarterback and running back unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Marcus Neal Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Marcus Neal Jr., a safety that was not the priority.
Pick153 Rnd5 Justin Evans
Justin Evans in Round 5, Pick 16 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nicholas Rodriguez
Nicholas Rodriguez slid further than he should have, and pick No. 174 is lovely value for the linebacker. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at pick 177 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
A straight-up fair deal on Cayden Lee at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 J'Mond Tapp
A real head-scratcher, J'Mond Tapp in the 213th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jaleel Johnson
Jaleel Johnson in the 236th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
