* Projected Trade

Tampa Bay trades #14 and #45 to Jacksonville for #9 and #116. With few immediate holes and a win-now mandate, Tampa can afford to pay a premium to move up for one of the premier tackles in this class. Becton instantly upgrades Brady's protection regardless of which tackle position he takes over.

Denver trades #15 and #77 to Cleveland for #10. Denver leapfrogs several WR-needy teams to secure Ruggs, the perfect compliment to Courtland Sutton.

New England trades #23, #87, and #98 to San Francisco for #13. Post-Gronk trade, the Pats have 5(!) picks in the 3rd and 4th rounds. They use two of them to move up and secure their QB of the future after his injury history and an early run on OTs causes him to take a slight fall. SF decides that the extra picks are more valuable than landing one of the elite WRs in this year's deep WR class.

Philadelphia trades #21 and a 2021 second round pick to Cleveland for #15. Philadelphia sees an elite talent falling at WR and moves up aggressively to secure Jeudy, who many analysts have as WR1 in this class. Cleveland trades down again, adding more picks rather than reaching for an OT at #15 that they can probably get later in the draft.

Indianapolis trades #34 and #75 to Baltimore for #28 and #106. Rivers is a one-year solution, and the Colts clearly don't see Brissett as the answer. Eason is raw but has coveted traits.
