Trade Analysis
Seattle received John Tresvant and sent Al Tucker. The realized values are close enough that a directional verdict would overstate the separation. The grading is retrospective: named draft selections are evaluated by what they became, while unknown or still-protected picks are kept conservative. Later unrelated transactions are not credited as if they were guaranteed at the time of this deal. For a lower-profile transaction, the grade stays conservative and focuses on durable rotation value, pick conversion and the actual cost paid.
