Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks land in the muddy middle: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Caleb Rogers at No. 212 will need to, sitting 107 spots clear of his grade. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Getting Shough where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid a round early for Azareye'h Thomas in the 50th pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A big swing on Anthony Belton at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
They jumped the gun on Jonah Monheim, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in Round 5, Pick 34 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
A conviction pick on Kyle Williams at slot 187 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in Round 6, Pick 34 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamaree Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
