DETROIT — The 2024 NFL Draft is just hours away, as each and every fan base across the league hold out hope that their front office will identify the next superstar.

The Seahawks currently possess the No. 16 overall pick in Thursday night's first round, although plenty of reports have indicated the team is open to a trade back if the right offer comes along.

The annual three-day event will see hundreds of players from the collegiate ranks find their new homes, either as a draft pick or through signing with a team as a free agent. By the end of the weekend, the Seahawks should have a new crop of at least a dozen rookies that could be making an impact right away next season.
