Cardinals trade back, still land WR in 1st round in new mock draft simulation

What if the Cardinals traded back AND still landed a top WR prospect in the first round? As unlikely as that seems, it happened in this sim.

It is another Saturday which means it is time to do another seven-round mock draft simulation for the Arizona Cardinals. This week, the ideal scenario would be to see what would happen in a trade down in the first round, attempting to acquire a pick in the fourth or fifth round.

In this seven-round simulation on The Draft Network, things work out fantastically for the Cardinals. They move back, pick up a fourth-round pick and still land a top receiver target.

Let’s run down each pick.
