For The Win

The 2023 NFL Draft is roughly two weeks away. That’s a good thing, too; April has been a bit of a wasteland when it comes to football news. Sure, Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Baltimore Ravens and Jeff Okudah’s Detroit Lions career ended less than three years after the franchise made him a top three pick, but it’s otherwise been a slow couple weeks when it comes to Super Bowl table setting. So for my latest mock draft, I opted to lean in to the boredom and get a little weird. Every pick in this one-round mock draft gets traded. Some more than once. The deals are disclosed at the top of each writeup and trade compensation is based on Rich Hill’s Bill Belichick-inspired pick value chart. Some swaps will make more sense than others since dealing every selection is a silly exercise to begin with. If I happen to get just one of these trades even halfway right I will be pleasantly surprised.
