Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B.

Nobody else had Cedric Gray anywhere near slot 88. The Seahawks did, by 46 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

With wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick78 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves wide receiver, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 88th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach for Kitan Oladapo in pick 151; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
