The Seahawks spent real capital to be 78 picks early on Tommy Akingbesote, and the board is going to hold them to it.
Getting Noel where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Emmanwori at slot 18, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in pick 82, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They will replay Jaylin Noel at pick No. 137 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They liked Cobee Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 34. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A wild overpay on Donovan Smith in No. 187, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Somehow Luke Lachey was still sitting there in the 212th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A need, and now a little less of one.
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Akingbesote in Round 7, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
