Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Seahawks let McCormick fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason McCormick had no business being available in the 179th pick, and the Seahawks did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Rosengarten pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Sainristil pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 25th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A tidy little value on Cooper DeJean in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Brian Thomas Jr. at the 58th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A quiet steal in pick No. 101: Dominick Puni for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roger Rosengarten this early at pick 102. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 5, Pick 8 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 160 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Taking Malik Mustapha in the 192nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 235th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
