Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Seahawks for Marks: B-.

The Seahawks spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Woody Marks, the No. 180 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

Every board in the league had Ferguson lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Booker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good price on Xavier Watts in the 50th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick52 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 52 with a little surplus value in JT Tuimoloau. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in No. 82 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 137th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
No edge and no loss on Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in the 223rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
