NFL: blockbuster trade Graham-Unger analysis rates and considerations

Seattle Seahawks------> Unger + 1st round pick--------> NO Saints

Seattle Seahawks<------ Graham + 4th round pick<------ NO Saints

Seahawks side:  this trade will change so much the Seattle's offense, of course this is a move to launch the Wilson career as a passer giving his a superstar in TE position, a position where they have had so many issues due to the inconsistence of the players in that role and this didn't give a safe target to Wilson to go forcing him to pass too many times to the WRs. The negative part is that they gave away argubly the best center in the NFL right now especially on running game but with some issues to stay healthy but i think it's worth for a top TE, Unger won't leave an easy hole to fill but they proved that even without him the o-line can perform good enough to let Lynch have decent runs. Rating: A-

Saints side:  of course the last years issues on Graham's arbitration forced this trade, in my opinion the Saints didn't have that desperate need to upgrade the center position or at least not big to trade their best player (don't counting Brees) to a conference rival, it's clear that the TE wanted to go somewhere else but his departure aggravated the Saints' offensive problems especially on big play receivers. Unger will upgrade their running game but the departures of Grubbs and Ingram need to be fixed to get a decent result in that department. Rating: D

It's clear that is too early to analyze the draft picks but this trade see the Seahawks as the hands down winners but i don't blame the Saints to do this because keep a player who doesn't want to stay is not good for the environment of the team but this leave to the Saints GM an hard work to do to fix the holes.
