David Williams

Seattle acquired 2018 5th round pick (149th overall, Michael Dickson) from Denver Broncos on 2018-04-28, sending 2018 5th round pick (156th overall, Troy Fumagalli); 2018 7th round pick (226th overall, David Williams) in return. The value case for Seattle comes down to the direct asset exchange: 2018 5th round pick (149th overall, Michael Dickson) for 2018 5th round pick (156th overall, Troy Fumagalli); 2018 7th round pick (226th overall, David Williams). There is no clear evidence of a major downstream swing, so the grade stays modest rather than inflated. For TradeVerdicts, this row matters because it preserves the transaction trail without overstating the long-term Seahawks impact.

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.
