The NFL Draft is out of Roger Goodell’s basement and on the road to Cleveland, more like the three-day football extravaganzas of the past than the coronavirus pandemic-induced studio show of 2020. NFL teams will select 259 players next week, and the AL.com Mock Draft forecasts how the first 32 picks might go. Unlike the first AL.com Mock Draft two weeks ago, which assigned picks based on the current draft order, the second look at the first round predicts seven trades in an attempt to inject some reality into something that’s speculation.
