Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions
Seattle Seahawks Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Seattle traded Lawrence Jackson to Detroit for a 2011 sixth-round pick and selected Byron Maxwell. Jackson was productive for the Lions, recording 13 sacks in three seasons despite never starting a game there. Maxwell developed into a starting corner on Seattle’s championship secondary, intercepted six passes across 2013 and 2014, and won Super Bowl XLVIII. Detroit received real value, but Maxwell’s higher-leverage role gives Seattle the edge.
Philadelphia sent Byron Maxwell, Kiko Alonso, and the No. 13 pick to Miami for the No. 8 pick. Miami selected Laremy Tunsil, who became an elite tackle and later produced another enormous trade return. Philadelphia escaped two unwanted contracts and used No. 8 as the foundation of its move for Carson Wentz. Both franchises achieved major strategic value.
