NFL mock draft 4.0: Detroit Lions stick with OL; who trades up for Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy?

The closer we get to draft day, the more convinced I am quarterbacks will go 1-2-3-4 for the first time in modern draft history.

There are too many quarterback-needy teams and too many tantalizing quarterbacks available for any of Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy to slip out of the top five, and I think one team – either the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants or Denver Broncos – will be motivated to trade up and get one.

I've incorporated trades into my mock for the first time this spring. Nothing too crazy, but enough to have a sense of who might go where and when.
