If your favorite mock draft this spring doesn’t have a handful of first-round trades, throw it away. It’s garbage.
There have been at least five first-round draft-day trades in each of the past three years; in 2018 there were seven. As NFL decision-makers evolve and realize that trades can be mutually beneficial and not everyone has to lose, we’ve only gotten more fireworks in the first round. Get ready, Nashville.
I have three favorites to trade down in this year’s draft and one swashbuckling team ready to shoot (back) up the draft and make another splash.
