Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Minnesota moved back into the first round for Teddy Bridgewater, sending Seattle picks No. 40 and No. 108. Bridgewater became the Vikings' starter, made the Pro Bowl after the 2015 season and helped produce an NFC North title before a catastrophic knee injury changed his trajectory. Seattle traded No. 40 again and collected additional selections while using No. 108 on Cassius Marsh. Both sides got useful value, with Minnesota's starting-quarterback payoff providing the stronger peak.
Trade 2 of 3
Detroit moved up from No. 45 to No. 40 in the 2014 draft and selected Kyle Van Noy, sending Seattle additional fourth- and seventh-round value while also receiving a fifth. Van Noy played only 30 games and made seven starts for Detroit before being traded to New England. Seattle's No. 45 pick became Paul Richardson, who produced 1,302 receiving yards and eight touchdowns for the Seahawks, giving Seattle the edge.
Trade 3 of 3
Detroit traded Kyle Van Noy and a 2017 seventh-round pick to New England for a 2017 sixth-rounder that became Brad Kaaya. Van Noy quickly found a larger role in the Patriots defense, became a multi-year starter and contributed to championship teams. Kaaya never became a Detroit solution, and the Lions received essentially no lasting return. New England's acquisition became a textbook fit-and-development success.
