Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Seahawks pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Smael Mondon Jr. got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at the 234th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every board in the league had Caldwell lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 18 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at Round 4, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in slot 183 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 210th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 234 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
