Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks won the night they stopped Trapilo from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ozzy Trapilo got past him. The Seahawks do not have to explain a thing at pick 173. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Lachey proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 18th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No drama and no debate, Marcus Mbow went about where he belonged in No. 50. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Fair-plus on Tate Ratledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
They robbed the room for Quinn Ewers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Lachey a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Karene Reid
You do not let a linebacker like Karene Reid reach slot 212 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 236 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
