Trade terms:

• Commanders send: 2nd overall pick, 2024 second round pick (36th overall), 2024 third round pick (78th overall), 2025 first round pick, 2025 second round pick, 2025 fourth round pick

• Bears send: First overall pick

Is there any offer that would move Chicago off the first overall pick now that Justin Fields is a Pittsburgh Steeler? The Commanders and Patriots are the only two that could offer a surefire crack at a top tier quarterback, but both Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels look like a step down from Williams. In this case, the Bears get a similar package to when they traded back with the Panthers, only with better immediate first and second-round picks and a third rounder in place of DJ Moore.

Washington has the draft capital to pull this off; would the Commanders want to? Would the Bears laugh them off?

Trade terms:

• Commanders send: 2nd overall pick, 2024 second round pick (36th overall), 2024 third round pick (78th overall), 2025 first round pick, 2025 second round pick, 2025 fourth round pick

• Bears send: First overall pick

Chicago picks up a boatload of premium selections and still manages to find an electric, playmaking Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. There’s no real impetus for the Bears to bulk up on picks with a well-formed roster — their defense played like a top three unit to finish 2023 and adding Keenan Allen helped solve one of their biggest offensive concerns. But Washington’s godfather offer is too much to pass up in this “everyone must trade” situation, so here we are.

Trade terms:

• Vikings send: 11th and 23rd overall picks, 2025 first round pick

• Patriots send: Third overall pick, 2024 sixth round pick (180th overall)

Maye would look great for the Patriots, a high-potential quarterback with some Josh Allen in his game. But New England needs more than just a QB, and three first round picks would do wonders to overhaul a roster with some nice pieces but few franchise cornerstones. Minnesota has to pay up without second or third round picks this spring, but it’s worth it to find a viable replacement for Kirk Cousins who could eventually outshine the veteran he’s replacing.

Trade terms:

• Giants send: Sixth overall pick, 2024 second round pick (47th overall), 2025 third round pick

• Cardinals send: Fourth overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (106th overall)

New York has to overpay to take 2024’s first wideout, because that’s exactly what the Cardinals need as well. Fortunately for Arizona, they can slide backward and pick up the assets to fill their other, plentiful roster holes while still landing in range to select Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers. The Giants, on the other hand, make one last push to make Daniel Jones great by finally giving him a true WR1 — and giving Darius Slayton the support he needs to quietly thrive alongside him.

Trade terms:

• Broncos send: 12th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (76th overall), 2025 second round pick

• Chargers send: Fifth overall pick

2024 is a gap year for the Chargers, a reset under new head coach Jim Harbaugh that will show just how far the franchise has to go over the next five years. With expectations low and holes across the roster, Los Angeles can afford to trade back — even with a division rival.

Sean Payton didn’t take the Broncos job to oversee an extended rebuild. He needs a quarterback, and in this case he gets Harbaugh’s former protege at Michigan.

Trade terms:

• Giants send: Sixth overall pick, 2024 second round pick (47th overall), 2025 third round pick

• Cardinals send: Fourth overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (106th overall)

Kyler Murray gets immediate help with a player who turned college 50/50 balls into a 75/25 proposition for Michael Penix Jr. The Cardinals get to move up nearly 60 spots from the fourth to second round and pick up a bonus third rounder next year for their trouble. Not bad.

Trade terms:

• Bears send: Ninth overall pick, 2024 third round pick (75th overall)

• Titans send: Seventh overall pick

The Bears almost certainly won’t trade back from the top spot. They may move up from No. 9 to make sure their wide receiver cupboard is stocked for Caleb Williams (or, in this case, Jayden Daniels). The Titans, with Calvin Ridley in tow, could use a stud wideout but don’t necessarily need one at the moment.

Trade terms:

• Raiders send: 13th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (77th overall), DT Adam Butler

• Falcons send: Eighth overall pick

Atlanta needs a pass rusher, but there’s no clear cut top 10 option in this year’s draft. That makes a trade back entirely feasible. Here comes a Raiders team in need of a bookend for Kolton Miller. The Falcons also get a viable veteran to join their calvacade, as Butler is a useful rotational tool up front who had five sacks in 2023.

Trade terms:

• Bears send: Ninth overall pick, 2024 third round pick (75th overall)

• Titans send: Seventh overall pick

Tennessee picks up an extra third rounder and, while it doesn’t get to take the draft’s first offensive lineman, it still may get the best. Alt is a monster with NFL bloodlines, a massive frame and the quick feet of a former tight end. He’s the next logicial step in an offense meant to prop up Will Levis or whomever is taking snaps in the near future.

Trade terms:

• Bengals send: 18th overall pick, 2024 second round pick (49th overall)

• Jets send: 10th overall pick

Yeah, the Jets could really use Bowers’ athleticism in a lineup in need of dynamic targets. But it’s a lot more fun to envision him in tiger stripes and serving as a contingency plan should Tee Higgins depart either via trade or free agency next spring. Bowers would be the high-impact tight end Joe Burrow has lacked as a pro — and make the Bengals even more of a pick-your-poison offense.

Trade terms:

• Jaguars send: 17th overall pick, 2024 second round pick (48th overall), 2024 sixth round pick (212th overall)

• Patriots send: 11th overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (103rd overall)

Part of the Patriots’ willingness to slide out of the top 10 was the hope a top-two offensive lineman would be there. There isn’t, so New England trades back some more in an unplanned tribute to Bill Belichick.The Jaguars are the recipient here, trading back roughly 50 spots later in the draft in order to take the first defender off the board in 2024 — a lockdown corner who can make the Jacksonville secondary a fearsome place for AFC South quarterbacks.

Trade terms:

• Broncos send: 12th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (76th overall), 2025 second round pick

• Chargers send: Fifth overall pick

Maybe Kristian Fulton thrives with a change of scenery — but ask Titans fans how they feel about relying on him on a regular basis. Arnold’s arrival would add another high impact corner to the secondary and provide insurance should Asante Samuel Jr. leave as a free agent in 2025.

Trade terms:

• Raiders send: 13th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (77th overall), DT Adam Butler

• Falcons send: Eighth overall pick

The Falcons moved back five spots and still get to pick the player they’d eyed at No. 8. Turner’s resume is a bit thin, but he’s a blue chip athlete from a lineage of pass rushing wizards at Alabama. He’d immediately take a spot for an Atlanta team with few reliable edge rushing threats.

Trade terms:

• Cowboys send: 24th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (87th overall), 2025 second round pick

• Saints send: 14th overall pick, 2024 seventh round pick (239th overall)

The Saints could really use offensive line help, so prying away the 14th pick will be difficult — if anything, they’re more likely to deal upward. But New Orleans could also stand an infusion of inexpensive young talent given its perpetual place in salary cap purgatory. Dallas needs to make some moves after antagonizing its fans this offseason. Thus, a jump up 10 spots to keep Dak Prescott protected and, hopefully, convince him to extend his contract in Texas.

Trade terms:

• Steelers send: 20th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (87th overall), 2024 sixth round pick (178th overall)

• Colts send: 15th overall pick

Pittsburgh, sensing a potential run on offensive linemen, gets proactive here to bolster the protection in front of Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. Fuaga is a mauler who can handle duties on the edge or kick inside to clear space with his power and fast hands. The Colts, who’ve been mostly content to stand pat this offseason, add an extra third round pick and a sixth round lottery ticket for their troubles.

Trade terms:

• Packers send: 2024 25th overall pick, 2024 secound round pick (41st overall)

• Seahawks send: 16th overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (118th overall)

Offensive linemen are going quick, but the Seahawks don’t need a tackle right now. The Packers, after parting ways with David Bakhtiari and Yosh Nijman this offseason, do, necessitating a trade up and modest overpay using the second round pick gifted to them by the New York Jets for the privilege of being done with Aaron Rodgers bull[expletive]. Latham is a massive blocker who can keep Jordan Love upright and get out in space to clear room for Josh Jacobs on the ground.

Trade terms:

• Jaguars send: 17th overall pick, 2024 second round pick (48th overall), 2024 sixth round pick (212th overall)

• Patriots send: 11th overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (103rd overall)

There’s that downside of trading back — three linemen, all of whom would have been great targets for Jerod Mayo’s team, just came off the board. Instead, the Patriots pivot to another offensive need; receiver. Thomas is well rounded enough to break the wideout draft curse Bill Belichick left behind in New England. He’s big, fast (4.33 second 40 time) and has yet to even approach his ceiling as a player.

Trade terms:

• Bengals send: 18th overall pick, 2024 second round pick (49th overall)

• Jets send: 10th overall pick

The trade back worked out poorly for New York as well, as targets on the offensive line and for a 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers to throw to have slid off the board in the last eight picks. But Murphy persists, giving Quinnen Williams the kind of anchor up front that will allow him more freedom in shaking blocks and collapsing pockets. Murphy isn’t a classic space eater due to a relative lack of size, but he’s an explosive gap-splitter who’d create a no-win situation for linemen trying to figure out who to double-team vs. the Jets.

Trade terms:

• Titans send: 2024 second round pick (38th overall), 2024 third round pick (75th overall), 2025 fourth round pick

• Rams send: 19th overall pick

The Titans have some extra draft capital to work with after dealing back from the seventh overall pick. They put some of it to use here in order to jump back into the first round and take advantage of a slow developing edge rusher market. Latu can be immediately productive for a team focused on an immediate turnaround in a winnable AFC South. And Rams general manager Les Snead gets to extend his run without a first round draft pick to eight years.

Trade terms:

• Steelers send: 20th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (87th overall), 2024 sixth round pick (178th overall)

• Colts send: 15th overall pick

Indianapolis may not need a pass rusher here, but Verse would be great draft value and an inexpensive player at a premium position. He’d join a rotation with Kwity Paye, Dayo Odeyingbo and Samson Ebukam to give the Colts one of the deepest and most impactful edge units in the game.

Trade terms:

• Panthers send: 2024 second round pick (33rd overall), 2024 third round pick (65th overall)

• Dolphins send: 21st overall pick, 2024 sixth round pick (198th overall)

All this pass rusher action means David Tepper has sent down the directive to trade up and land a Brian Burns replacement from his home state. Robinson plays like he’s been shot out of a cannon, and while his game needs more facets his speed rush is powerful enough to make an immediate impact on the edge for a rebuilding Carolina team.

Trade terms:

• Bills send: 28th overall pick, 2024 second round pick (60th overall)

• Eagles send: 22nd overall pick, 2025 third round pick

There’s enough wideout talent that Buffalo could stand pat at No. 28 and find a Stefon Diggs replacement. Moving up, however, allows the team a chance to lock in MItchell, one of 2024’s biggest risers through the pre-draft process. While his consistency is a concern, he’s got all the tools to be a Pro Bowl wideout and his track record of showing up in big games is exactly what the Bills need.

Trade terms:

• Vikings send: 11th and 23rd overall picks, 2025 first round pick

• Patriots send: Third overall pick, 2024 sixth round pick (180th overall)

Mims is a bit of a project, but he looks like the kind of foundational tackle who can keep whomever is slinging passes for the Patriots protected for the next decade. He’s a monster of a human being with quick lateral movement and the arm length and power to keep edge rushers flailing outside the pocket.

Trade terms:

• Cowboys send: 24th overall pick, 2024 third round pick (87th overall), 2025 second round pick

• Saints send: 14th overall pick, 2024 seventh round pick (239th overall)

The Saints have plenty of needs and could really use a Pro Bowl player on a rookie contract to help light a path out of salary cap hell. Newton may not look like that guy based on stats alone, but he finds a way to impact the game and allow others around him to thrive. He and Bryan Bresee could form the foundation of one of the league’s best young interior line duos.

Trade terms:

• Packers send: 2024 25th overall pick, 2024 secound round pick (41st overall)

• Seahawks send: 16th overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (118th overall)

Another year, another defensive back who can make an immediate rookie impact for the Seahawks. DeJean would thrive under new head coach Mike Macdonald, who could toss him into the mix at cornerback or safety. The Iowa star is one of the draft’s most athletic prospects and will have a starring role on special teams as well.

Trade terms:

• Browns send: 2024 second round pick (54th overall), 2025 second round pick

• Buccaneers send: 26th overall pick

Both Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore will be free agents after the season. Cleveland is so thirsty for wideout help it traded for, then extended Jerry Jeudy, who has never had more than 70 catches or 1,000 receiving yards in his NFL career. Drafting McConkey gives the Browns yet another weapon to prop up Deshaun Watson, the quarterback they traded away three first round picks for and then gave $230 million guaranteed despite more than 20 accusations of sexual misconduct and what the NFL itself described as “predatory behavior.”

Trade terms:

• Chargers send: 2024 second round pick (37th overall), 2024 third round pick (75th overall, acquired from Denver)

• Cardinals send: 27th overall pick, 2024 fifth round pick (138th overall)

Los Angeles addresses issues at the heart of its offensive line by drafting Barton, who played tackle with the Blue Devils but is pegged for a move inside on Sundays. He can be the player the Chargers hoped Zion Johnson would be — and, if Johnson finally realizes his first round potential, part of a rock-solid combo at guard. If Jim Harbaugh wants to establish the run, he’ll have to reinforce his blocking.

Trade terms:

• Bills send: 28th overall pick, 2024 second round pick (60th overall)

• Eagles send: 22nd overall pick, 2025 third round pick

The Eagles continue their quest to overhaul an aging secondary with a buffet of former blue chip college recruits. McKinstry joins Kelee Ringo and Eli Ricks for a team that’ll be phasing out James Bradberry and Darius Slay in the near future. McKinstry has a stronger college resume and higher ceiling than either of his fellow SEC alums.

Trade terms:

• Texans send: 2024 second round pick (42nd overall), 2024 third round pick (86th overall)

• Lions send: 29th overall pick

Juice Scruggs was uneven as a rookie. Trading up for Powers-Johnson allows the second-year player to slide over to guard, where he’d be a valuable deterrent against pass rushers in the middle of the line. Powers-Johnson is a burly, meaty man who can carve out room for the run game and, just as importantly, keep CJ Stroud upright long enough to keep thriving.

Trade terms:

• Raiders send: 2024 second round pick (44th overall), 2025 second round pick

• Ravens send: 30th overall pick, 2025 fifth round pick

Las Vegas is ready to wade thorugh the fire with Aidan O’Connell behind center, but O’Connell is far from a sure thing behind center. Penix is both the more accomplished college quarterback and has a higher ceiling. So while O’Connell would still have the chance to prove himself as QB1, Penix’s arrival would afford Antonio Pierce a viable developmental QB who doesn’t have to start immediately but could in a pinch.

Trade terms:

• Falcons send: 2024 second round pick (43rd overall), 2024 third round pick (79th overall)

• 49ers send: 31st overall pick, 2024 fourth round pick (132nd overall)

Atlanta’s defensive overhaul continues, and after dealing for a third round pick earlier on Day 1 they send another out in a swap with San Francisco. Fiske needs polish, but he’s the kind of big, athletic marvel who could thrive in a defensive front headed by Grady Jarrett. The Falcons’ biggest weakness is rushing the passer; they just got a whole lot more dangerous in the span of a few hours in April.

Trade terms:

• Saints send: 2024 second round pick (45th overall), 2024 third round pick (87th overall, acquired from Dallas)

• Chiefs send: 32nd overall pick

Signing Marquise Brown means the Chiefs can wait until the second round to add wideout help, where burners like Xavier Worthy and Troy Franklin may be waiting. That allows the Saints to jump the line and take a quarterback who could take over for Derek Carr, who has been mostly forgettable in his time in New Orleans thanks to injuries and age. Nix is no surefire upgrade, but the Saints can’t quite afford a marquee free agent QB and have to start scratching lottery tickets at the draft.
