Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks let Thornton Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Dont'e Thornton Jr. sat on the board until pick No. 241, and the Seahawks did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Webb reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
No edge and no loss on Grey Zabel in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 50th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach pick No. 82 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Majors in slot 118. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 129th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to pick 136, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at No. 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 178 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
They barely believed it either: Kyle McCord still on the board at the 180th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 187th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Cobee Bryant at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 241 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in Round 7, Pick 27 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
