Many years, a run on quarterbacks tends to dictate how the top of the first round will fall during the NFL Draft. This year is no different, but predicting when and to who those quarterback will be drafted is just as difficult in 2021 as it was back in 2017.
Just like that particular draft, there figure to be a number of in-draft trades by teams looking to move ahead of competitors. Recent quarterback trades by Carolina and Denver provide extra uncertainty about which teams are truly in the QB market. Therefore, making a mock draft free of trades is quite the challenge this spring.
