Trades are typically common in the first round of the NFL Draft, especially in a year where the draft prospects are as unpredictable as ever. There is some excellent top-end talent in this draft, but a lot of questions surrounding a group of prospects in the the mid-to-late first round.
In the 2022 NFL Draft, nine trades went down in the first round -- one resulted in A.J. Brown coming to the Philadelphia Eagles and another had the Arizona Cardinals landing Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. There will certainly be a flurry of moves on draft night as teams will look to strike on selecting a player they want or stockpiling picks for Day 2 or in next year's draft.
