Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Seahawks grade out a B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Cam Ward is the Seahawks' quarterback, full stop.

The West reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Getting Gordon II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 18th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick50 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Somehow Armand Membou was still sitting there in the 50th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 82 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 David Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take David Walker this early at slot 137. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at No. 173 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ricky White III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricky White III in Round 6, Pick 9, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 212 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
