Dallas Cowboys Win
Seattle moved down from #25 to #28 in the 2008 draft, selecting DE Lawrence Jackson and adding later picks. The extra picks made the value chart reasonable, but the outcome was ordinary. Jackson had flashes without becoming the front-line pass rusher Seattle hoped for, while the added selections produced role-player value at best. This is a major row because it involved first-round capital, but the grade should be read as process-positive rather than outcome-great.
