Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Seahawks, and a C+ to match.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Moore at slot 173, a reach of 120 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Kiser falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

So much rides on Grey Zabel that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 18 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid a round early for Azareye'h Thomas in Round 2, Pick 18, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 82 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
A big swing on Ahmed Hassanein at the 137th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at No. 173 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They took Jaylen Reed at par in slot 187, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 34, with Jack Kiser worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at the 236th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
