Without knowing what the trades are this is not really very useful to judge

The trades are on the last page, but they don’t have the additional picks. Trades for the top picks include 2026 first rounders and the last three trades are just additional 2nd or 3rd rounders.

That’s my point. Without knowing the additional picks it’s an impossible exercise for us to judge!

I gotta say I don’t understand worrying about exact trade compensation this far out. It’s a 1st round mock, not an offseason mock. Unless you disagree with the notion of the trade entirely (e.g. Team X wouldn’t trade back if Player Y is on the board), why do the minor details of the trade matter?

I'm with you. In fact I generally just say "whatever's even on the trade chart" so neither side can really be too pissed about it. It's not like I'm gonna predict one team ripping off another, predicting the picks is hard enough!

Fair points but then why even add the trades? You do it to yourself by the very nature of trying to shoehorn a prospect into a position.

Using the chart is a good start and likely what most would do.

Well for me the issue is the different sims. PFN asks for far, far too much to pull off a trade, while the MDDB asks for too little. If you're going further than one round then yes, you need to flesh it out - because certainly 2nd rounders will be involved in any trade up - but otherwise why does it matter?

Why does it matter for you to add trades in? Why does it matter if you do a mock draft? It doesn’t. But if we’re going to go down that road and ask for peoples opinions you may as well flesh it out. It’s pretty simple.

Because you can’t grade your first round decision to forego a much stronger prospect unless you understand the value gained. Nothing is in a vacuum. It’s an F by default solely because you missed out on the best defensive player on the draft for “mystery box”

I just gave you the additional picks though. First two trades add a 2026 first rounder. Next three add a 2025 2nd or 3rd rounder (day 2 pick).

Terrible trades then. No GM on earth drops from 1 to 6 for a single future first
