Walter Jones

Seattle moved up from #12 to #6 in the 1997 draft, sending Tampa Bay a 3rd-round pick to land OT Walter Jones. Jones played 13 seasons in Seattle, earned nine Pro Bowl selections, made the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014. Tampa Bay used #12 on RB Warrick Dunn. Walter Jones became one of the most quietly dominant offensive linemen in NFL history, protecting Seattle quarterbacks for more than a decade with rare athleticism and consistency. Tampa Bay landed Warrick Dunn, a very good player, but the Seahawks secured a Hall of Fame left tackle. Winner: Seattle Seahawks, emphatically.
