Every year during the NFL Draft, we see teams trading up to get the player they want, or trading down to get more picks.  This year I see three potential trades that could benefit all parties.

The NFL Draft and it’s selection process has become an art.  The elite talent available to NFL Franchises is abundant.  After a couple of months of watching film, the combine, and meeting with players, these Franchises sometimes fall in love with players.

Once these teams get the idea in their head that they can implement a player, sometimes they will do anything to go get them.  Look no further than the Rams Management last year in making one of the most lopsided draft trades ever in order to get their hands on Jared Goff.

I don’t think we will see anything of that magnitude, as this year isn’t considered to be the same year for Quarterbacks, combined with the fact that this draft class is loaded with talent across many positions.

But like every year, we will probably see some trades, and the following are ones I see as practical, and possible.
