When it comes to the story of the 2024 NFL draft for the Seahawks, it boils down to one turning point. What will they do with the 16th overall pick?
Seattle Seahawks new NFL football head coach Mike Macdonald speaks during an introductory press conference, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024, in Renton, Wash. When it comes to the story of the 2024 NFL draft for the Seahawks , it boils down to one turning point.There's truly two choices: Stay at 16 and pick the best available player - that fits the Seahawks needs, of course. Or, do you trade No.
There's a reason so many believe - myself included - that if the Seahawks stay with the No. 16 pick, they're taking an offensive or defensive lineman. They nailed the 2022 draft with help on the offensive line in the way of Charles Cross and Abe Lucas, but now they likely could bolster the interior at guard or center.University of Washington Huskies everywhere would love a Troy Fautanu pick here.
There are also plenty of other defensive linemen that will be selected in the mid-to-late first round that would be a fine fit at No. 16 and help the Hawks immediately. Dallas Turner, Byron Murphy and Jer'Zhan Newton, just to name a few, could land in Seattle if they stand pat at 16. It may simply depend on who's still available at that point, John Schneider will have to weigh additional draft capital over what player they could select.I've seen some mock drafts that have Philadelphia trade the No. 22 and 50 picks to Seattle in exchange for No. 16. That's something the Hawks may have a hard time turning down, getting back in the second round and only having to slide down six picks to make it happen.
