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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Seahawks did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Brade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 16 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 78 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in pick No. 81, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade is a better player than the 118th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 154. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner slid further than he should have, and the 194th pick is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
