Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 24 spots for Jordan Travis, and value like that does not grow back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 16th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick78 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 78 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They paid up for Tyler Davis at No. 81 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 18 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Cole Bishop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick194 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
They paid sticker price for Bryson Nesbit in pick No. 194, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Demorie Tate
Value said wait; Demorie Tate in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
