Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 234: the Seahawks steal Smith and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Brashard Smith slides to pick 234, you do not overthink it, and the Seahawks did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Sorrell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 18th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tate Ratledge reach No. 50 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at Round 3, Pick 18 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 136 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A real head-scratcher, Barryn Sorrell in slot 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A reach for Ricky White III in the 183rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in pick No. 210. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
