It’s finally time for the 2023 NFL Draft to get underway. As the picks start rolling out, what established NFL players could end up getting traded? Last year, we saw the likes of AJ Brown and Hollywood Brown traded during the NFL Draft, among others. This offseason, there have already been some massive, blockbuster trades, but more big-name players could be on the move.

Which NFL players could be traded during the 2023 NFL Draft? Let’s take a look at 24 names across the league.

24 NFL players that could be traded during the 2023 NFL Draft

Denver Broncos

  • WR Jerry Jeudy
  • WR Courtland Sutton

The latest rumor is that the Denver Broncos are holding on to both of their top receivers. There have been persistent rumors almost all offseason that these guys were the subject of calls coming into the offices of George Paton and Sean Payton, but nothing ultimately materialized. The Broncos were after Allen Lazard and Adam Thielen before they signed elsewhere in free agency. Could one of these guys be on the move this weekend?

Los Angeles Chargers

  • RB Austin Ekeler

The Chargers have given Austin Ekeler permission to seek a trade, and Ekeler understandably wants to be somewhere that’s going to value him for putting forth better production than most wide receivers do as a pass catcher. He’s getting paid like a middle-tier running back and has 38 touchdowns the last two seasons.

Las Vegas Raiders

  • WR Hunter Renfrow

Although Renfrow seems like the ideal type of receiver for Josh McDaniels’ offense, perhaps the Raiders will want to get out of his contract just like they did with Darren Waller.

Kansas City Chiefs

  • RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire

The former first-round pick is no longer RB1 in Kansas City. It looks like that title and distinction will go to Isiah Pacheco after his emergence in 2022. The Chiefs almost certainly won’t exercise the fifth-year option for the former LSU star. Not that they’d help one of their biggest rivals, but Edwards-Helaire reuniting with Joe Burrow in Cincinnati would make a ton of sense.
