Yep. Right before they move to Vegas.

Well, it's not a straight up 5th. It's the loss of a 6th. Don't know how that compares on a draft value chart board.
My point being I thought Schneider & McKenzie would've done an absolute bargain basement swap of picks. A handshake trade to ensure a smooth departure. Yes we lose a 6th, but a 5th rounder for a player who had no intention of playing for anyone but that specific team is a good deal.

Just wait for the Raiders to win the Super Bowl and the Seahawks to finish with the worst record in the league, then it will be a bottom basement deal!

This sums it up for me too

They were already in Super Bowl contention last year before their QB went down late in the season. They finished 12-4 and that was without Carr for their last game (which they probably would've won had Carr played).

Depending upon how the two teams finish the 2017 season it's equal to either a 6th or a 7th round pick most likely.
The most it could be on the trade value chart is 28.4 (actually a late 5th value) and the least it could be is .4 which is like a compensatory 7th.

Exactly. Their running game was mediocre last year and they were still 2nd best in the conference. If Lynch can run...it could well put them over the top.
