Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Trente Jones, the No. 194 name on the board, stolen at the 235th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Colson lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
Somehow Michael Penix Jr. was still sitting there in the 36th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 8 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at pick No. 102 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in No. 118 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
The board fumbled Anthony Gould all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Rogers at slot 192, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Steal is underselling it; Trente Jones at the 235th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
