Henri Crockett

Denver acquired 2002 7th round pick (228th overall, Chris Young) from Atlanta Falcons for Henri Crockett. Denver converted Henri Crockett into draft capital, a practical roster-management decision rather than a franchise-shaping swing. The Broncos grade stays at C because the return was useful but limited, while Atlanta Falcons lands at C based on the player value it acquired.

Seattle packaged the #11 pick and additional selections to Atlanta to move up to #3 overall for CB Shawn Springs. This was the decisive second step after Seattle flipped Rick Mirer to Chicago. Springs became a Pro Bowl-caliber corner and a seven-year starter, giving the Seahawks the high-end defensive back they were chasing. The price was steep, but Seattle turned a fading quarterback asset into a premium corner through a smart two-trade chain.

Seattle acquired 1997 4th round pick (100th overall subsequently traded, Henri Crockett) from Baltimore Ravens on 1996-03-12, sending Jeff Blackshear in return. Seattle's side of this 1996 draft-capital exchange was straightforward: the Seahawks received 1997 4th round pick (100th overall subsequently traded, Henri Crockett) and surrendered Jeff Blackshear. The C+ grade reflects the known return, while Baltimore Ravens's C grade accounts for the countervalue. The trade belongs as a standard database entry because its documented impact was real but not franchise-shaping.
