Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Seahawks: B-.

The Seahawks treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 22nd pick on Cooper Beebe a full 28 spots early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Mitchell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper Beebe
In pick No. 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick 83 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell is a better player than the 86th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
