Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Seahawks: B-.

The James Williams pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 23 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Bertrand to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick81 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A wild overpay on Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 17, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 James Williams
They talked themselves into James Williams at the 102nd pick, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 179th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 192, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JD Bertrand in pick No. 235. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
