Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ponds should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. D'Angelo Ponds at slot 96 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 32nd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
You do not let a linebacker like Sonny Styles reach pick 64 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in No. 96 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
