Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Seahawks, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Seahawks spent slot 173 on Nick Martin, a name the board had a full 90 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Getting Thornton Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 50th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A conviction pick on Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Phillips well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at Round 3, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
No drama and no debate, Tyler Shough went about where he belonged in No. 137. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nick Martin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Martin. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 187th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 212th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A reach for Clay Webb in Round 7, Pick 18; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
