Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Seahawks: C.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ben Yurosek, 208 picks early at the Round 2 slot. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on Tate Ratledge that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In pick No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ben Yurosek
They reached into another round for Ben Yurosek, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Connor Colby
A real head-scratcher, Connor Colby in the 137th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
A big swing on Dayon Hayes at Round 5, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 185, where Cobee Bryant graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 234th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
