In his latest article, Bill Barnwell projects a mock draft filled with trades, emphasizing the unpredictability of both player outcomes and team decisions on draft day. Unlike conventional mocks, Barnwell's approach imagines 32 distinct trades, considering various scenarios that could compel teams to make moves. Notably, he highlights the influence of the limited availability of top quarterback prospects, framing trades that generally favor teams moving up the draft board. Using the Jimmy Johnson chart for valuation, these projections probe the dynamics influencing NFL team strategies during the draft.
