Draft-day trades are the bane of a mock-drafter's existence.
Putting together a mock draft is a difficult endeavor in the first place. Trying to predict the way 32 front offices perceive their rosters, the prospects in the class and the values of their picks is tricky business. When you throw in just one trade, the whole thing can get blown up pretty quickly.
Yet predicting trades adds another layer of difficulty to the proceedings. In most cases, these mocks are an exercise in slotting players close to where they will be taken and taking a stab at what teams are thinking anyway.
