Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Seahawks.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Seahawks did exactly that with McKinnley Jackson in Round 4, Pick 2. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 58th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They took Marshawn Kneeland at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at pick 99 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They talked themselves into McKinnley Jackson at No. 102, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid a round early for Isaac Guerendo in slot 118, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They went early on Javion Cohen in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at pick No. 192 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Crumedy well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 219, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
