NFL Mock Draft: Six First-Round Trades
The NFL Draft stars hot and doesn't slow down in the final mock draft.
Like the rest of the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers are finalizing everything they need for the 2024 NFL Draft.
This is always the most exciting exercise of the draft process where people feverishly, but hopelessly compile their final first-round predictions and feel like they absolutely nail it before the draft humbles them back down to earth. This should not be a surprise, but there could be absolute chaos that occurs on draft day when it comes to trades all over the board. Quarterbacks, offensive linemen, there is going to be a lot of movement and it shows with my final first-round mock prediction.
