Seattle acquired DL Leonard Williams from the Giants for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick. The cost was aggressive for a midseason defensive-line addition, but Williams immediately raised Seattle's front-seven ceiling and later became part of the team's longer-term defensive plan. This is not a bargain-bin deal; it is a contender-style investment in a proven interior disruptor. The B grade reflects real player quality balanced against premium draft cost.
