Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 192nd overall pick: the Seahawks steal Vaki and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sione Vaki, the No. 159 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Vidal pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 21 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 31 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick102 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 118th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Somehow Sione Vaki was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 17, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at slot 198 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in the 235th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
