Grading teams on their draft class is a natural thing to do for the experts, but it means nothing.
No one has any idea how these rookies are going to perform in the NFL.
The best way to grade a class is three years down the road. It's at that point where coaches and general managers can tell if a player really has what it takes.
So instead of grading the current class, let's go back three years to the Seahawks' 2015 draft class.
They took Frank Clark in the second round and Tyler Lockett in the third - excellent picks.
The rest of the class was forgettable.
Six guys who are no longer with the team, including a defensive lineman named Obum Gwachum.
Exactly.
So before everybody gets worked up about players who have never played a down in the NFL, let's at least let these guys take the field on a Sunday - 48 of them.
Here are some the critics' grades for the Seahawks:
