As the 2024 NFL Draft draws near, fans and experts alike are buzzing with excitement over potential trade scenarios that could shake up the event. The latest episode of the “With the First Pick” podcast featured discussions on eight trades that could impact the draft, with CBS Sports NFL Draft expert Ryan Wilson and CBS Sports HQ NFL analyst Rick Spielman providing their insights.
One of the most intriguing trade scenarios involves the Minnesota Vikings, who are reportedly considering trading up to secure a quarterback in the draft. Spielman mentioned the possibility of targeting Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy as a potential successor to Kirk Cousins, highlighting the team’s need to address the quarterback position.
Despite McCarthy not being considered the fourth-best player in the draft, Spielman values the Vikings making a move to secure him. Other teams like the Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers were also discussed in potential trade scenarios to acquire quarterbacks.
In one proposed trade, the Denver Broncos would trade down to the No. 24 pick to select Michael Penix Jr., while the Dallas Cowboys would receive the No. 12 pick in return. The Las Vegas Raiders were also mentioned as a possible team looking to trade up for a quarterback, possibly targeting either McCarthy or Bo Nix.
The Chicago Bears were included in discussions with the New Orleans Saints, contemplating a trade down to the No. 14 pick to potentially select Laiatu Latu. Lastly, the Los Angeles Rams are eyeing a trade to move up to the No. 16 pick, with their sights set on Byron Murphy II, while the Seattle Seahawks would receive the No. 19 pick in return.
