NFL Draft Trade Proposal: Steelers Acquire No. 10 Pick From Jets, Select Sam Howell
Rumors have been swirling this offseason about the Jets possibly trading out of the No. 10 overall pick.
Now, in mock draft form, we get to see what that situation would look like.
Chad Reuter of NFL Network has both five trades and five quarterbacks selected in the first round of his latest mock draft.
That flurry of activity begins with the No. 3 overall pick, as Carolina trades up with Houston to draft Liberty's Malik Willis. Just a few selections later, after picking Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton fourth overall, the Jets get involved in this trade-filled frenzy.
Reuter has New York trading the 10th overall selection to the Steelers in exchange for pick No. 20 and a third-rounder. That allows Pittsburgh to leapfrog some other quarterback-needy teams and select a replacement for Ben Roethlisberger.
Sounds hectic, right? Well, it just so happens that Reuter has New York involved in two additional trades before the end of the second round as well.
That said, let's walk through each selection involving the Jets from this mock with Reuter's analysis (and our own commentary):
