Recent trades: Oakland traded Doug Jolley, pick #47, #182, and #185 to the New York Jets for #26

Kansas City traded #46 and a fifth-round pick (#147 or #162) to Miami for Patrick Surtain and #138.

Projected trades:
Minnesota trades #7 and #18 to Cleveland for #3 overall, and at least a swap either second (#49/#34) or third round picks (#80/#67). I am projecting third-round swap, plus picks in 2006 being swapped (probably a Minnesota 4th for a Cleveland 2nd).

Green Bay trades #24 to Philadelphia for #31 and either #94 and #172 or a second-round pick in 2006.

Notes:
Minnesota and Philly are the two teams looking to trade up, and Philly could trade as high as #10. Detroit would get #31, #63, #77 and #146 at a minimum. Minnesota could go up to #2 if Cleveland refuses to trade out of the spot, since Miami has so few draft picks this year and many needs. If Minnesota does go to #2, look for a deal with Philly before hand to clear out a lot of lower-round picks to package to Miami. Minnesota and Kansas City are other potential trade partners, as the Vikings could seek to go down from #18, particularly if the Eagles are looking to draft someone the Packers want.

Projected trades:

Buffalo trades #55 and Travis Henry to Arizona for #44 and LJ Shelton.

Cincinnati trades #48 and #119 to Dallas for #42.

Notes: Tennessee could trade down to accumulate more picks, but if Marcus Johnson or Elton Brand are there, they won't move. The Steelers may trade up to get him. Philadelphia could trade up from #63 to grab Mike Patterson or hope CJ Mosley is available.

This mock gets thrown out the window if Cleveland takes Rodgers instead of Edwards.

Arizona is in a great position, and can afford to trade down a few spots. If Rodgers is available to them, there isn't going to be anyone that trades up to get him. Even so, Carlos Rogers should be there.

I know, I know. No trades.

The Vikings taking Nugent at 49 may be a reach, but stranger things have happened.

Green Bay may take Orton at 58, or wait until the third. McPherson is a gamble.

If there's a run on defensive backs in the early 2nd, the Jets could package their picks to move up.
