In a draft class where receivers and tackles stand out as two of the best position groups, the Seattle Seahawks may have the ideal situation to receive maximum compensation trading down from the 16th overall pick.
Scheduled to go on the clock with the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks could go a number of different directions, from selecting a standout offensive lineman to further reinforcing their secondary for new coach Mike Macdonald’s defense.
But before general manager John Schneider submits a card to commissioner Roger Goodell next Thursday night, history suggests there’s a strong likelihood Seattle could trade down, especially without a second round pick after acquiring Leonard Williams last October. With five days until the festivities kick off in Detroit, he undoubtedly has already been working the phones to see which teams in the back half of the first round may have interest in swinging a deal to move up to No. 16.
