Even Trade Seattle acquired Sheldon Richardson; 2018 7th round pick (226th overall subsequently traded, David Williams) from New York Jets on 2017-09-01, sending Jermaine Kearse, 2018 2nd round pick (49th overall subsequently traded, Dallas Goedert); 2018 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Zaire Franklin) in return. The trade is best understood as a narrow roster or draft-position move. Seattle acquired Sheldon Richardson; 2018 7th round pick (226th overall subsequently traded, David Williams) and gave up Jermaine Kearse, 2018 2nd round pick (49th overall subsequently traded, Dallas Goedert); 2018 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Zaire Franklin), with the available evidence supporting a C grade rather than a stronger verdict. It should remain in the public database, but the analysis should not pretend it changed the arc of Seahawks history.
