NFL Trade Verdict

Seattle Seahawks Win

Seattle sent the #10 overall pick and a 3rd-rounder to Green Bay for backup QB Matt Hasselbeck and the #17 pick, which became G Steve Hutchinson. Hasselbeck became a Pro Bowl quarterback and led Seattle to Super Bowl XL, while Hutchinson developed into a Hall of Fame guard. This trade launched Seattle's modern era. Hasselbeck stabilized quarterback for nearly a decade, and Hutchinson anchored an elite line that helped Shaun Alexander win MVP honors. Green Bay's side, Jamal Reynolds, became one of the era's most notorious first-round busts. Winner: Seattle Seahawks, historically.
