FOXY KNOXY DRAFTING FOR THESeahawks
Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall
B-

FutureB-
Larceny in the 96th pick lands the Seahawks a B-, Ponds and all. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Seahawks were there to profit. D'Angelo Ponds, the No. 47 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 96.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Wheatley lower, and that gap is the story.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Zakee Wheatley
They reached a country mile for Zakee Wheatley at pick No. 64, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick96
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 96 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick213
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in pick 213 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
