Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks
Seattle moved up from No. 68 to No. 49 in 2009 and landed center Max Unger, who became a long-term starter, a first-team All-Pro and a Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks. Chicago received Jarron Gilbert and Henry Melton; Melton developed into a productive interior defender and a Pro Bowler, giving the Bears real value even though Unger became the best player in the exchange.

Chicago Bears

New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks
New Orleans turned Jimmy Graham and a fourth-round pick into center Max Unger and the No. 31 selection, used on Stephone Anthony. Seattle still got three productive seasons from Graham, including two double-digit or near-double-digit touchdown campaigns, and the acquired fourth-rounder became part of the package used to move up for Tyler Lockett. Unger's four seasons anchoring the Saints' line give New Orleans the stronger long-term return.
