Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Seahawks.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Seahawks walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Watson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 20th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in slot 83; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Max Melton
They did well to land Max Melton in the 118th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 119 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emani Bailey in pick 194. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at the 236th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
