NFL Draft Trades: Teams Eyeing Extra Picks

0:00On March 5th, the 2026 NFL Draft is just months away, and trades are already shaking things up. Yesterday, the Kansas City Chiefs sent cornerback Trent McDuffy to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for the 29th overall pick, plus three. Additional selections. Analysts now say five teams hold prime spots to trade back and grab extra draft capital. Take the Dallas Cowboys at pick 12. They could slide to 20th, picking up a day to choice while drawing interest from teams chasing quarterback Ty Simpson or late round wide. Receivers like Omar Cooper, the Cleveland Browns with two first rounders might drop a few spots to still landing offensive linemen or receivers such as Carnell Tate. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals sit at number three with multiple needs on offense and defense. Trading back two to five physicians lets them stockpile picks without missing out on talents like Jeremiah Love. Their suitors could include the New York Giants or New Orleans Saints looking to jump ahead.

1:04The Seattle Seahawks have the fewest picks of any contender, only four total, and their general manager has hinted at adding more in this so-so class. A drop could net them value if quarterback Ty Simpson falls late, tempting teams like the Jets or Vikings. The Los Angeles Chargers, second fewest with five picks, face similar gaps on the interior line and might slide to the late first or early second. Expect these conversations to heat up as teams weigh needs against the draft full of sliding prospects and quarterback buzz.
