Seattle moved down from #12 to #15 in the 2012 first round, passing Philadelphia the Fletcher Cox slot and selecting Bruce Irvin while adding picks. This trade is complicated because Philadelphia landed the best player in Cox, a Hall of Fame-caliber defensive tackle. Seattle still extracted useful value: Irvin became a productive pass rusher and the additional picks fed into a deep roster-building class. The B grade reflects a successful Seahawks plan, but history favors Philadelphia on the top-end player outcome.
