Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Seahawks a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Seahawks reached some 80 spots for Joe Milton III, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 78, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 James Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Williams in the 81st overall pick, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick119 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in pick No. 119 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 194th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 233 with a little surplus value in Ryan Cooper Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
