Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Seahawks: C+.

The Seahawks went off the board in a big way for Julian Pearl, 25 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 22 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at the 102nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in pick 118, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A tidy little value on Marist Liufau in Round 5, Pick 36, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in slot 179 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They did well to land Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 17, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miyan Williams this early at slot 235. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
