An analyst suggests that the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks could potentially “shake up” the 2024 NFL Draft.
Ryan Fowler, writing for Bleacher Report, has devised five trade scenarios that could significantly alter the anticipated course of the draft’s first round in April.
In this hypothetical situation, Fowler outlines that Seahawks might seek to trade up in the first round to secure a quarterback for their future needs.
Here is what the blockbuster trade between the two teams could look like:
New York Jets receive: a 2024 first-rounder (No. 16 overall), a 2024 third-rounder (No. 76 overall), a 2024 third-round draft choice (No. 78 overall), and a 2025 fourth-rounder
Seattle Seahawks receive: a 2024 first-rounder (No. 10 overall)
Fowler explained the potential trade option in a bit more detail and provide the target that the Seahawks would pursue with this aggressive move up in the NFL Draft.
“Landing in a city like Seattle is the type of atmosphere Michael Penix Jr. could thrive in quickly. Staying home in the Pacific Northwest wouldn’t be a bad gig for the Heisman runner-up in Penix, either.
Needless to say, this would be a major move that changes the trajectory of the future for the Seahawks. For the Jets, they would be adding more valuable draft capital. It could be a win-win for both teams involved.
There will likely be a lot of movement ahead of the NFL Draft this year. Plenty of teams are open for business and there are a lot of teams that need a quarterback who could look to trade up. It’s going to be a wild ride, so buckle up.
