Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks let Washington fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Washington, the 235th overall pick, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Eichenberg lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 16 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at the 81st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 102 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They talked themselves into Tommy Eichenberg at slot 118, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Fabien Lovett at Round 6, Pick 17 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Somehow Tahj Washington was still sitting there in pick 235, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
