The Seattle Seahawks acquired former Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell in a trade on Thursday, giving Seattle a young QB with starting experience who will (presumably) serve as Geno Smith’s backup. In exchange for two more years of Howell on his very inexpensive rookie contract, Seattle parted ways with a third-round (No. 78) and fifth-round pick (No. 152), and received a fourth- and sixth-rounder.
What does that all mean for next month’s NFL Draft? As things stand, the Seahawks still have seven picks but now they don’t have a fifth-rounder. They have multiple fourth- and sixth-rounders but no longer have a pair of third-rounders.
