Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Seahawks robbed the room for Isaac. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Adisa Isaac got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Gould left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 32nd overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 56. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick 95 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in slot 102, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 128 with a little surplus value in McKinnley Jackson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Anthony Gould
A reach on Anthony Gould in the 134th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They read the board right and Malik Mustapha was the payoff at pick 179. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick192 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
You do not let a linebacker like Nathaniel Watson reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
