We're less than three weeks out from the actual draft and the closer we get to April 29 the more it feels like certain players will end up with certain teams. The top two selections feel as close to sure things as you'll have this time of year, and the 49ers also appear set to take their quarterback of the future. After that, however, this draft feels, to quote Bruce Arians, color commentator, 'wide-ass open.'' It's reasonable to expect at least one of the teams in the bottom half of the first round to move up for a quarterback and that's exactly what happens in this week's mock. Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi said last week that the Football Team loves Trey Lance and that he wouldn't be surprised if they traded up to get him. So that's what we have happening -- WFT moves up to No. 8 and Carolina gets No. 18, No. 74 and a 2022 second-round pick. (That's 'fair' compensation, according to the trade value chart created by CBS Sports' R.J. White, but if the 49ers are willing to part with an extra first-rounder to move up to No. 3 then perhaps the Panthers can squeeze an extra first-rounder out of WFT. It doesn't matter for our purposes here -- this is where we remind you that this is a mock draft -- but if we don't mention it some folks will inevitably whine about it.)
