Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Seahawks did exactly that with James Williams in No. 84. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and interior defensive lineman went begging.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick No. 40 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They paid a round early for Brandon Dorlus in No. 64, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A big swing on Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 James Williams
Value said wait; James Williams in the 84th pick says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 102nd overall pick leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick118 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
The board fumbled Christian Mahogany all the way to slot 118, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 19 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They will replay Jamari Thrash at the 159th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Harrell at the 179th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 192 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyrice Knight. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
