Grade: C+. Giving Wilson the contract he deserves was the right move, and moving Clark for a big haul is the same. But, the Seahawks lost a lot of production from recent years. Although they were able to turn four picks into 11, they didn’t patch the line to give Wilson the protection he needs. At the end of the day, the roster looks younger, which they’ll need to do now that they will be paying a quarterback $35+ million per year, you’d just like to see them protect him better.
