How do Players retiring or being traded impact draft?

But Detroit could be a team willing to give up a lot to move 2 spots if their QB is available when we pick. IN our case if Sewell is gone, moving back 2 places for a team likely to draft a QB in the #5 slot could reap huge rewards with little risk getting a player the team covets. Some fans will say won't get much moving 2 places, but that depends on how many teams covet that 1 QB available that teams view as a top 10 pick. Hopefully a guy like Fields or Wilson is there and a bidding war ensues.

The only thing i would worry about is, if Sewell is the target and he's gone, they move back behind the Eagles. The Eagles don't need a QB so whoever they take, is a guy the Bengals would miss out on as well as whoever they would have taken at #5 without the trade. So now they sit minus Sewell and 2 other guys higher rated.
