Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kurtis Rourke at the 50th overall pick, a reach of 81 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Moss value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 18 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kurtis Rourke
Value said wait; Kurtis Rourke in No. 50 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 18 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in pick 136, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 171st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Somehow Le'Veon Moss was still sitting there in the 210th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 234 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
