Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Seahawks this weekend: B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kyle McCord at pick No. 136 is 88 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 21 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. is a better player than the 52nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 21 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle McCord well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the 173rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kobe Hudson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They liked Ar'maj Reed-Adams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 185. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at pick 210, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
