2014 NFL 3-round final mock draft 5.0: TRADES! TRADES! TRADES!

New, comments

Since the new rookie salary cap came about a few years back, trades have become much more common in the draft. The Raiders got into the act last year too, trading down from the three spot to the 12th spot. I took that into consideration with my final mock draft and had some fun predicting a few blockbuster trades.
