Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Seahawks spent pick 146 on Jordan Jefferson, a name most had 38 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Jackson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They liked Braelon Allen enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 102 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A reach on Roger Rosengarten in the 118th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at slot 146 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tip Reiman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
They robbed the room for Brennan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at No. 186 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nathaniel Watson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in the 235th overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
