Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Seahawks lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The phones were a trap the Seahawks kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

With running back and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot leaves running back and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at slot 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 118th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They did well to land Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 154, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 166 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in the 194th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in No. 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A straight-up fair deal on Mark Perry at pick No. 236, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in Round 7, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
