The Seahawks let Pearce Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how James Pearce Jr. got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at No. 50.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Booker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, James Pearce Jr. in No. 50, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Taking Josh Simmons in the 52nd pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
