Nick Vannett

Seattle acquired 2020 5th round pick (162nd overall subsequently traded, Khaleke Hudson) from Pittsburgh Steelers on 2019-09-25, sending Nick Vannett in return. The value case for Seattle comes down to the direct asset exchange: 2020 5th round pick (162nd overall subsequently traded, Khaleke Hudson) for Nick Vannett. There is no clear evidence of a major downstream swing, so the grade stays modest rather than inflated. For TradeVerdicts, this row matters because it preserves the transaction trail without overstating the long-term Seahawks impact.

Seattle traded down from #26 to #31 in the 2016 first round, allowing Denver to move up for QB Paxton Lynch while the Seahawks took Germain Ifedi and added Nick Vannett. The trade-down was defensible because Denver was paying quarterback-tax value, but Seattle's own return was mixed. Lynch failed badly for the Broncos, which helps the Seahawks side, yet Ifedi never became the stabilizing first-round lineman Seattle needed. The B grade reflects the smart move-down process more than a great player outcome.
