Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: David Walker in Round 3, Pick 18, a good 75 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Briningstool pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the 18th overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at No. 50 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in Round 3, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They let Chris Paul Jr. come to them and pounced at pick 92. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick No. 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Briningstool at the 173rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 187 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
A tidy little value on Akili Arnold in the 212th pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 18 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
