Here’s Another Mock Draft

It’s been a couple weeks. It’s time for another mock draft. 

I don’t like mocking trades in mock drafts. Mock drafts are a fairly silly thing to start. There are so many variables and guesses without inserting the variables and guesses that come with trades. Who wants to trade back? Who wants to trade up? How far up? How far back? Who has the assets to make a trade? Who’s willing to use those assets? That being said, if I were to mock a trade in this draft, it would be the Arizona Cardinals trading the third pick in the draft. Without a second or third quarterback worthy of the third pick, the Cardinals are probably looking at an offensive lineman. They can probably get that same offensive lineman a bit later. While I don’t believe that the Cardinals will stay put, I’m projecting that they will in this mock.
