Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks robbed the room for Nash. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nick Nash got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at pick 187.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the 18th pick they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A tidy little value on Benjamin Morrison in the 50th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and pick No. 82 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 4, Pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Taking LeQuint Allen in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick 187 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
