One of the joys -- and frustrations -- of mock drafting is that it's impossible to know everything. We can try our best to gather information, evaluate every player and every need and every front office tendency ... and we still won't get it right.
One of the biggest reasons we'll be wrong is trades. They happen every year. Last year had the Jaguars trading up from No. 5 to No. 2 for Travis Hunter Jr. and the Giants and Falcons trading back into the first round to take Jaxson Dart and James Pearce Jr., respectively. The year before, the Vikings moved up from No. 11 to No. 10 to take J.J. McCarthy and moved up from No. 23 to No. 17 to take Dallas Turner, the Lions moved up to take Terrion Arnold, the Chiefs moved up to take Xavier Worthy, and the Panthers moved up to take Xavier Legette. Phew!
With the history of trades in mind, I tried to be extra cognizant of the potential for reshuffling in this mock draft, and wherever I made a mock trade, I made sure to note both the reason for the move and the return, using a draft pick value chart. Let's begin.
