It’s the last Monday in March, the NCAA Tournament has reached its Elite 8 (and my bracket was trashed in the first weekend, by the way, thanks to Loyola and Abilene Christian) and we are mere weeks away from the 2021 NFL Draft. Normally, this would be a good time for a fresh mock draft, regardless. But now it gets even more interesting after three teams traded picks in the blink of an eye. To recap, the day was highlighted by the San Francisco 49ers moving up from No. 12 to No, 3 in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, also sending a first and a compensatory third in 2022 and a first in 2023 to Miami.
