The Seahawks have a dilemma going into the 2024 NFL draft. Having dealt their second-round pick to the Giants as part of the Leonard Williams trade, they’re missing a big selection early in the draft as they attempt to fill out a relatively young roster that’s on the rise.
In our latest mock draft, we set out to trade down in the first round to get that second-round pick back and target a new potential franchise quarterback in Round 2. In an ironic twist, we wound up doing another deal with the Giants, sending them pick No. 16 overall in exchange for pick Nos. 39, 47 and a 2025 second-round selection.
After accepting the deal we held our breath and hoped that our guy would still be on the board when we are back on the clock at No. 39 overall. Here’s how it played out.
