Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall C

The Seahawks landed square in the muddy middle: C.

The Luke Lachey pick is the one that will follow the Seahawks into the fall. They took him 140 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Landing Nelson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection.
Pick50 Rnd2 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They took Danny Stutsman at par in No. 82, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A running back of that caliber at slot 92 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
A tidy bit of business in pick 137, where Dillon Gabriel graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zeek Biggers
They reached into another round for Zeek Biggers, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in No. 187 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
Nothing to complain about; Akili Arnold went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Circle this one: Jack Nelson at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
