Eagles-Seahawks Trade: Breaking Down the Specifics of the Deal

Pick No. 12 brings another trade. This time, the Philadelphia Eagles give the Seattle Seahawks a fourth (114) and sixth-round (172) pick to move up from No. 15 for Mississippi State DT Fletcher Cox.

Winners

Fletcher Cox: Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn is maybe the very best in the business, and he gets the player that I believe was the best raw DL talent in the draft. This is a terrific destination for a developing defensive tackle.

Trent Cole, Jason Babin - Cox's pass-rush ability inside is unrivaled on the Eagles' roster, so offensive lines will have to pay more attention to the inside gaps. Babin and Cole should benefit from the split focus of the blocking schemes.

Seattle: Assuming the Seahawks want Chandler Jones or another DE, they should have no problem getting the player they target with only the Cardinals, who play a 3-4 and Rams, who are set at defensive end, in between them and being on the clock again.

Losers

Chandler Jones: Jones may still go to the Seahawks but will lose some money going three picks later. 

David DeCastro: After the Chiefs and now Eagles have passed on him, DeCastro could fall to the Seahawks at No. 15, or even further, although the Bengals would probably scoop him up at No. 17.
