The 2024 NFL Draft boasts potentially great quarterback options. Fans have already seen how the presence of those caliber players impact the draft with Minnesota acquiring a second pick in the first round, presumably to trade up for a quarterback.
In the event that the Cardinals or Chargers, who hold selections No. 4 and 5 overall respectively, trade out, CBS Sports looks back at previous deals to hypothesize what it might take to facilitate a move up to land a quarterback. The point differentials were determined by the trade value chart arranged by SportsLine’s R.J. White.
Over the past 13 drafts, 35 quarterbacks have been taken in the first round, and there has been an average of one trade up each year to take a quarterback in the top half of the round.
*Note: This is a revisionist view of each trade as it takes into account where future picks actually ended up being rather than the terms at the time of the trade. For example, a team may trade a future first-round pick and it ends up being the No. 15 overall selection. I am taking the figure for No. 15 overall and not the hypothetical value of a future first-round pick at the time of the trade.
