Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks
Dallas moved up three spots in the 2008 first round and selected cornerback Mike Jenkins at No. 25, sending Seattle picks 28, 163 and 235. Jenkins became a Pro Bowler in 2009 and started 48 games for Dallas. Seattle used the return on Lawrence Jackson, Owen Schmitt and Brandon Coutu, but none delivered comparable value, turning a modest move-up into a clear Cowboys win.

Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions
Seattle traded Lawrence Jackson to Detroit for a 2011 sixth-round pick and selected Byron Maxwell. Jackson was productive for the Lions, recording 13 sacks in three seasons despite never starting a game there. Maxwell developed into a starting corner on Seattle’s championship secondary, intercepted six passes across 2013 and 2014, and won Super Bowl XLVIII. Detroit received real value, but Maxwell’s higher-leverage role gives Seattle the edge.
