Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Seahawks came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while running back and tight end went begging. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The DeShon Elliott deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 55th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in pick No. 78 leaves running back and tight end for later.
Pick81 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid sticker price for Marshawn Kneeland in slot 81, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 19 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
No drama and no debate, Tahj Washington went about where he belonged in pick 194. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Austin Reed
A tidy little value on Austin Reed in the 233rd pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
