Grand theft in pick No. 137: the Seahawks steal Carter and grade out a B-.

The Seahawks did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Barrett Carter fell into No. 137.

They are betting Booker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at No. 50 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A cornerback of that caliber at the 92nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at pick No. 137 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 173, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They robbed the room for Jonah Monheim here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Gray in pick 212, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 236th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
