NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Seattle moved down from No. 43 to No. 51 in the 1991 draft and added a fourth-round pick, while the Raiders moved up for Nick Bell. John Kasay became useful value from the added pick, but the exchange still lands near neutral.
Seattle Seahawks Received
- pick 1991 second round pick (#51-Doug Thomas (Savoy))
- pick 1991 fourth round pick (#98-John Kasay)
Las Vegas Raiders Received
- pick 1991 second round pick (#43- Nick Bell)
Trade Analysis
This was a modest draft-capital exchange between Seattle and the Raiders. Seattle gained extra pick volume, while the Raiders moved up for a targeted second-round player. The long-term value does not create enough separation to force a winner.
