At the moment yes. A few years from now the determination of who won the trade will depend on who Seattle drafts with those selections, how those picks develop, impact or lack there of with those picks & what Wilson accomplishes or doesn't accomplish in Denver.

Denver got the elite QB, they gave up a lot to get him but lets not go crazy. Just like people who said Detroit won the Stafford trade. Anytime you get an elite QB you win the trade.

Just going off what we know right now with the asset exchanged, they won. Of course the onus is on Seattle to turn them into talent.

Denver will be fine and a contender with Russ. Banners hang forever

This is true.

Also, there's no way in the world I'd pay two #1s, two #2s, and players for Russell Wilson.

This isn't Russell Wilson from 2 years ago.

That’s way to much for Wilson. Glad we didn’t pay that.

Only qb worth multiple first on the market is Watson.

I just don’t think Wilson is that good anymore

I agree. Denver wins the SB this year, was it "too much" to give? People just saw it happen with Stafford and they're still sticking their fingers in their ears.

Exactly but this was the entire point of my previous post.

The AFC West is absolutely loaded now. Nothing is guaranteed for sure.

Huh? the one with the legal issues who has not played a snap in over a year? Wilson is a franchise QB. I think the price was not that far from fair.

It wasn't just the addition of Stafford that made the difference. The Rams added Von Miller & OBJ along the way too.

I’m assuming if his legal issues are settled.

Wilson is much older, had a noticeable decline this year with two A+ receivers. And has taken some punishment the last few years behind an oline they could never get right.

Maybe he bounces back this year or maybe he declines more. Who knows….

2 late firsts really aren't worth that much if you think you are getting an elite qb.

The broncos with wilson should be picking anywhere from 20-30.

Is pick 20 and 25 in the next 2 drafts not worth russell wilson?

Of course it is. Plus he is only making like 25mil.

No doubt about the AFC West being STACKED with Elite QBs: Mahomes, Herbert, Carr & now Wilson

The *AFC is stacked. Allen, Mac Jones, Dolphins have a bunch of assets. Titans. Denver has to make the move to compete. Conversely the Seahawks needs to get way better to just catch the teams in its division

Fant and Shelby Harris are nice gets on top of the picks. Wilson could head to market in two years. Could be a relatively small window for Denver

That’s still a good haul the Seahawks got in return.
