SEAHAWKS DRAFT -- trade down pick #18, Using the “New” trade chart:
All #‘s are rounded to the nearest whole number. All trades depicted would require a serious and motivated trade partner that has all of their native picks available to trade & all pick #'s shown are actual picks that each team would normally have available in each round - but do not include any possible traded or comp picks. Obviously, trades are extremely difficult to predict. The purpose of this study is to get an idea of the trade down possibilities for the Seahawks relative to values they may be able to obtain in trade for their #18 pick during the NFL draft.
I have made the assumption that teams moving up into Rd-1 are motivated to do so, perhaps they love a specific player (QB?, RB?, DL?) thus they usually have to pay a little extra for the move up and the further they move up the more the cost in draft capital. Some trades could also have the Seahawks swapping some of their native picks in addition to #18, to achieve a higher value, but that is impossible to predict. Multiple trade downs in the 1-st Rd. are a possibility for the Seahawks and those are also difficult to predict, even though, this is somewhat likely to happen. I say they trade down at least twice in the 1-st round unless they get some high picks from trading one or more of their players for picks.
Seahawks -trade down- using pick #18 in Round-1, = 287-points. (This is an illustrated "EXAMPLE".)
