Green Bay Packers Win
Seattle traded RB Ahman Green and a fifth-round pick to Green Bay for CB Fred Vinson and a sixth-round pick, giving away a future Packers star before his breakout. Green was blocked in Seattle and not yet viewed as a franchise runner, but the result was brutal. He became a four-time Pro Bowler and the 2003 NFC rushing leader in Green Bay, while Seattle received little lasting value. The F grade is warranted because the Seahawks lost a future star for a marginal return at a position where the payoff never materialized.
