Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Seahawks: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Seahawks never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick52 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in pick 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
