Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks
Dallas moved from No. 22 to No. 20 in the 1999 first round, sending Seattle the 22nd pick and a fifth-rounder to select defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban. Ekuban became a multi-year Cowboys starter and later played nine NFL seasons. Seattle used the two selections on Lamar King and Floyd Wedderburn, neither of whom produced comparable value. The Cowboys won a modest move-up without paying a damaging premium.

- Pick 1999 1st round pick (22nd overall, Lamar King)

Trade 2 of 3
New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks
New England moved from No. 20 to No. 17 in the 1999 first round, sending Seattle a third-rounder and sixth-rounder to select center Damien Woody. Woody started immediately, became a Pro Bowler and won two Super Bowls with the Patriots before leaving after five seasons. Seattle's acquired picks became part of a chain that produced Lamar King, Floyd Wedderburn, Karsten Bailey and James Dearth, none matching Woody's impact.

- Pick 1999 1st round pick (20th overall subsequently traded, Ebenezer Ekuban)
