1997 4th round pick (100th overall subsequently traded, Henri Crockett)
Baltimore acquired guard Jeff Blackshear from Seattle for a 1997 fourth-round pick. Blackshear immediately became a regular starter for the new Ravens, starting 44 games from 1996 through 1998 and giving Baltimore dependable interior-line play. Seattle gained future draft flexibility, but the pick was later moved again, leaving the Ravens with the clearer direct football return from this exchange.
Baltimore traded the 38th pick to Seattle and received Nos. 55 and 86, selecting Ray Rice and Tom Zbikowski. Seattle chose John Carlson, who gave the Seahawks useful receiving production at tight end. Carlson was a legitimate contributor, but Rice became an elite on-field weapon during his peak and Zbikowski added more value from the second acquired pick. The Ravens clearly won the football exchange.
Seattle traded cornerback Josh Wilson to Baltimore just before the 2010 season for a conditional 2011 selection that became a fifth-round pick, No. 157 overall. The Seahawks recovered useful draft capital while reshaping a secondary under a new regime. The choice was later moved, limiting the direct player return Seattle can claim from the original transaction.
Baltimore Ravens received Josh Wilson from Seattle Seahawks, sending 2011 5th round pick (157th overall subsequently traded, Doug Hogue) the other way. Wilson gave Baltimore useful cornerback snaps, while Seattle's realized draft return was limited, so the Ravens keep the stronger grade. That outcome supports a B grade for Baltimore Ravens, and the overall verdict is Baltimore Ravens Win.
2013 5th round pick (165th overall, Sam Martin, subsequently traded to Detroit)
2013 6th round pick (199th overall, Theo Riddick, subsequently traded to Detroit)
Seattle sent pick No. 56 to Baltimore and received Nos. 62, 165 and 199. The Seahawks selected Christine Michael at No. 62, then used the two later selections in a separate trade with Detroit. Baltimore chose linebacker Arthur Brown at No. 56. Brown never developed into the defender Baltimore expected, while Seattle retained three distinct assets and found some value from Michael and the later trade package, giving the Seahawks the edge.
