Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how De'Corian Clark got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at the 243rd pick.

J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Bell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 22 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 86 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Fair-plus on Adisa Isaac, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Gerald Mincey
A real head-scratcher, Gerald Mincey in pick 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 200th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick243 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They barely believed it either: De'Corian Clark still on the board at slot 243. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
