Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Seahawks this weekend: D-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Isaac Rex at pick 234, a reach of 91 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Green pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and running back still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Rome Odunze. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick30 Rnd1 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in the 62nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Value said wait; Cedric Gray in slot 81 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Renardo Green adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and running back untouched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Nothing to complain about; Roger Rosengarten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at pick No. 195, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at slot 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaac Rex
They talked themselves into Isaac Rex at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
