Wow that's a pretty good move for the Seahawks. He could do well there under MacDonald.

Interesting pick swap strategy

Didn't see that coming.

Interesting....

Good on SEA.  A 4th and 6th instead of a 3rd and 5th for them plus a top backup.   That's a great trade for them.

I'm personally a big fan of package trades that have the even draft asset distribution.

I.E. We have the first 4th rounder, first 5th, and an extra 5th.  Something like our 4th and later 5th (166 from SF) for a late 3rd and 6th would be an interesting move come draft day if an impact guy falls in that late 3rd range.

So according to the "Fitzgerald-Spielberger Trade Value Chart" they had Sam Howell valued at 199 points. Basically the value of pick 251 (late 7th) in the draft.

You knew he was gonna be traded as soon as they signed Mariota. Most pegged his trade value as "at least" a 4th. No clue how the trade pick value works out on that swap. Feels like the Commanders kinda got hosed though.

So he dropped in value after playing a year?

So i'm guessing they're going Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels at #2

Tells you what the NFL thinks of Howell

Damn Brock Purdy the only survivor of that 2022 QB class

I don't know if the math per that chart value is correct but if it is it's safe to just disregard that value chart moving forward. In no universe would you be able to trade 102 + 179 + 199 for 78 and 152.

Using the standard trade chart you'd land at a 70ish point difference, the equivalent of a mid-4th.

*Okay, went and looked at that draft value chart and didn't bother doing the math because the chart is laughably absurd. According to that chart you could trade up from #32 to #22 in the 1st round simply by tossing in the last pick of the draft. It wildly overvalues late round picks. That chart is trash.

Don't disrespect Bailey Zappe like that.
