Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at the 212th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Ratledge reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 18 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 50 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at pick No. 82, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They did well to land Darius Alexander in the 137th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 5, Pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at the 187th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 236 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
