Seattle moved down from #17 to #20 in the 1999 first round, passing New England the slot used on OL Damien Woody. New England landed a high-level interior lineman in Woody, while Seattle turned the move into a smaller package that fed into later draft maneuvering. The Seahawks did not collapse the value, but they also missed the best player in the exchange. This is a reasonable but unspectacular trade-down that belongs as major only because it touched first-round roster construction.
