Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Seahawks for Flournoy: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Flournoy slide, and the Seahawks were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will need Byrd to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Seahawks indulged a want in Bishop while a need in quarterback and running back stayed open.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Byron Murphy II at the 26th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 57th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They read the board right and Jaden Hicks was the payoff at slot 81. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cade Stover at No. 89 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick181 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd is a better player than Round 6, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
The board had cheaper options than Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in slot 225 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick235 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A real head-scratcher, Solomon Byrd in pick 235 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
