Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The war room fell hard for Matthew Jones, and it showed at No. 235: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at the 81st overall pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 102 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 118th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tip Reiman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
A quiet steal in No. 192: Fabien Lovett for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at Round 7, Pick 15. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
