Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 192: the Seahawks steal Gould and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Gould, Round 6, Pick 17, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Zinter lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 16 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They read the board right and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson was the payoff at slot 102. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 118 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 179th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at Round 6, Pick 17 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
They barely believed it either: Kendall Milton still on the board at the 235th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
