The trades explained

Minnesota trades #11, #23 and their 2025 first round pick to Arizona for #4
The Vikings clearly have a plan after acquiring the #23 pick from Houston. Trading into the top-five still seems most likely (in this instance to land J.J. McCarthy) although I do wonder if they’ll instead try to work out a way to turn their picks into Michael Penix Jr and Byron Murphy.

The New York Jets trade #10 and their 2025 first round pick to the LA Chargers for #5
The Jets owner, GM and Head Coach are all desperately needing this season to be a success. They’ve band-aided an O-line together, they’ll hope Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy and in this scenario, they trade up to #5 to land another big-name target in Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona trades #23 and #66 to Seattle for #16 and #179
Per the trade chart, the points difference between #16 and #23 is 240 points. The #66 pick is worth 260 points and #179 is worth 20 points. Perfect. The Cardinals traded down and then up a year ago and they repeat the act here to get ahead of Jacksonville for Brian Thomas Jr.

Washington trades #36, #78, #152 and #222 to Seattle for #23 and #192
There’s a 220 points difference between picks #23 and #36. #78, #152 and #222 add up to 233 points, while #192 is worth 15 points. In total, this is 218 points so it’s almost perfect. The Commanders have a ton of stock and badly need a left tackle to protect their new quarterback, so they trade up for the falling Olu Fashanu.

Tennessee trades #38 and a 2025 third rounder to Baltimore for #30
The Titans took Malik Nabers at #7 so they move back into the late first round to get a left tackle in Jordan Morgan.
