Seattle traded Geno Smith to Las Vegas for the No. 92 pick in the 2025 draft and used it on quarterback Jalen Milroe. Through the 2025 season and the opening weeks of 2026, Milroe has appeared in only a small package role, so Seattle has not yet realized substantial on-field value from the pick.

Trade Analysis

The Exchange

The clubs announced the trade on March 13, 2025: Las Vegas acquired Geno Smith and sent Seattle the 92nd overall pick in the 2025 draft. Seattle later used that selection on Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. The row originally carried March 7, the date the agreement was first reported, but the official transaction date is March 13.

Las Vegas Return

Smith immediately became the Raiders starter. In 2025 he started 15 games, completed 67.4 percent of his passes and threw for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. The team went 2-13 in those starts, so the production was real but did not translate into team success. Smith moved on after one season and is with the New York Jets in 2026, limiting Las Vegas to a one-year realized return.

Seattle Return

Seattle turned No. 92 into Jalen Milroe. As a rookie in 2025, Milroe appeared in three games without a start and recorded three rushing attempts for four yards with no passing attempts. He remains on Seattle's 2026 roster, so his long-term value is still open and should not be treated as fully settled.

Hindsight Through September 2026

Las Vegas has received far more realized playing value so far because Smith gave the club 15 starts and more than 3,000 passing yards. Seattle owns the younger asset and still has future upside, but Milroe has not yet produced comparable regular-season value. The current edge therefore belongs to the Raiders, with reduced confidence because the draft pick is still active and developing.

Current Verdict

Las Vegas Raiders Win to date. A C+ reflects one season of starting-quarterback production without team success or long-term retention. Seattle receives a C because the pick remains a live developmental asset whose ultimate value is not yet known. Revisit if Milroe develops into a meaningful Seahawks contributor.
