Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 35: the Seahawks steal Taylor and grade out a B+.

The Seahawks did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Mason Taylor fell into Round 5, Pick 35. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They are betting Grimes proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 25th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at pick No. 54. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in No. 85, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in pick 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
You do not let a tight end like Mason Taylor reach the 173rd pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at slot 185 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
A wild overpay on Antonio Williams in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tony Grimes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
