Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Puni from sliding. Grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Seahawks fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

Puni falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The cost of the Bortolini reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 47 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Good price on J.J. McCarthy in the 53rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in slot 58, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They barely believed it either: Dominick Puni still on the board at pick No. 119. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They reached a country mile for Braiden McGregor at pick 151, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in No. 194 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 233 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
