JUST IN: 2024 NFL Draft: Seahawks win drops them two spots in Round 1 draft order.

Even before their game against the Arizona Cardinals ended, the Seattle Seahawks knew they would definitely make the playoffs. Seattle was already trailing Arizona when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 17–9 to eliminate them. Although some fans might have been rooting for a defeat at this time, keep in mind that these are real people and they don’t give a damn if a game is purposefully lost in the midst of Round 1 in order to gain a draft position. In the end, Matt Prater’s missed field goals proved to be a major factor in the Seahawks’ 21-20 triumph.

What is Seattle’s position now? They are essentially in the middle of the 2024 NFL Draft’s Round 1 sequence.
