Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Seahawks a B+.

The Seahawks ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They will need Ulofoshio to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Devonshire value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Andrew Beck pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in pick No. 59. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at No. 78 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McKinnley Jackson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in the 128th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roger Rosengarten in Round 5, Pick 15. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A tidy bit of business in slot 194, where M.J. Devonshire graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid a round early for Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 7, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
