Earl Thomas

Seattle turned a 2009 second-rounder into the 2010 first-round pick that became Earl Thomas, a Legion of Boom pillar. Denver's future-first gamble became Seattle's chance to land Earl Thomas one year later. Thomas became the range and intelligence center of the Legion of Boom, a Super Bowl champion, and one of the best safeties of his generation. Denver's return, Alphonso Smith, played only 25 career games. Winner: Seattle Seahawks by a wide margin.
