Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Seahawks shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Put together, it is a D-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 69th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in the 75th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 78 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Nothing to complain about; Braelon Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in the 194th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Somehow Myles Jones was still sitting there in No. 236, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
