New mock draft simulation with Cardinals trading down, picking up 2nd-rd pick

The Cardinals pick up a second-round pick in trading back to the 14th pick.

Thus far, with my weekly full mock draft simulations, there have been no trade scenarios. The Arizona Cardinals simply make selections with their original picks.

In my latest full seven-round simulation, I look at a potential trade back in the first round.

This is how it goes.

Trade with Buccaneers

The first seven picks of this mock draft are quarterbacks and defensive players, meaning every offensive lineman is on the board. I find a trade partner in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have the 14th pick. The Bucs give the Cardinals the 14th pick and their second-round pick in exchange for the eighth pick and the Cardinals’ seventh-round pick.

Tampa takes Iowa tackle Tristan Wirfs to help protect quarterback Tom Brady. It is a reasonable scenario if they want Wirfs.

Now the Cardinals still have six selections, but now have a second-round pick again.

Now for the Cardinals’ picks.
