Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 187th pick: the Seahawks steal Gabriel and grade out a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Gabriel, the Round 6 slot, roughly 59 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

If Alexander pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Justin Strnad gives the group a proven body among the projects.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in the 50th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in the 66th pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 82 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Value said wait; Darius Alexander in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jamaree Caldwell at Round 3, Pick 33, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at pick 121 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 137 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at slot 161 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at the 173rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at No. 187 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Lindenberg in the 210th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
