Grade the Seahawks 2023 Draft

[Michael K.]

B+ actually.
They didn't get that obvious interior D-lineman....that they sorely needed.
But the rest was great.

I agree somewhat. I went A -, because while they didn’t get that game wrecker upfront, they didn’t reach, and they did address D Line in FA.

Who should they have taken?

Hard to say. IMO, to get an A, they would have needed an impact big up front. Maybe they got him, maybe they didn't. As of right now I think they filled some depth up front. I scored them high because they kicked ass at other spots, but hold off on a solid A.

If I was actually publishing my grade for consumption other than in here? I might have dove real deep into who they took where and who they could have gotten. Giving them an A - hardly seems like a slap in the face though.

JALEN?

JALEN?

No thanks. He might decide to work hard, get in shape and be worth the number five pick. But, IMO? Way to much risk.

My issue is taking a tiny CB (5'11 181 pounds) who is classified as a "Hitter" How will he withstand it at the NFL Level. I can understand not taking Jalen, but taking such a small and light CB???? Kelly Jennings was the same exact size. Hope he can withstand. But, he is such a small CB height and weight.

Yeah that was my point. If he was a non POS human the he would have been the obvious choice but I am happy they went bpa over a non wrecker.

He may well be lazy and a dumbass, but he's 21(?) and pretty sure most of us could be described in those same terms at that age. Not really fair to call him a POS human. Asshats like D. Watson, A. Hernandez, R. Carruth and M. Vick deserve that, would even accept it for Ray Rice, OJ or Ray Lewis if you don't trust juries, but doing dumb shit as a 20-something isn't on that level.

He's classified as a great coverage and zone DB that happens to play downhill when the run comes out onto the edge. Sherman did the same thing.

Numbers sometimes lie. Compare the two:

Under 6 foot and 181 pounds is still tiny.

Yes he did. At 6’4 and 195 pounds. Not barley 5’112 and 181.

I do like his coverage ability and toughness, just concerned with him wanting to continue being a hitter at 181 pounds against NFL players. Secondly, he also never ever played against Ohio States stud receivers.

We will see. We need good cover corners if Adans ever gets back, cause we know he can’t cover.
