Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Seahawks left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match.

The Seahawks spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Everything downstream of Michael Penix Jr. depends on Michael Penix Jr., and the building knows it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 31st overall pick they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 63 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at the 81st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slipping to No. 84 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in Round 4, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
They read the board right and DeWayne Carter was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They barely believed it either: Trevor Keegan still on the board at pick No. 162. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They took Trente Jones at par in pick 192, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
They robbed the room for Anthony Gould here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
