Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Seahawks won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Seahawks looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took AJ Barner at pick No. 127 regardless, 39 picks early.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Nubin at that price is a win they earned.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32 Rnd1 Payton Wilson
In pick No. 32 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at No. 59. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 17 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in slot 102, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at the 118th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
