Mock draft Saturday: Cardinals trade back twice in Round 1

See what happens when the Cardinals trade back twice in the first round and 4 times overall in the draft.

It is another mock draft Saturday and it is time to run another scenario for the Arizona Cardinals.

This week, on a mock draft simulation I ran on Pro Football Focus’ simulator, I looked at trade-back scenarios in the first round, as that is reportedly what the Cardinals are seriously considering.

When Kentucky Will Levis is selected second overall, the Las Vegas Raiders, who already tried to trade up to No. 1 but were outbid by the Carolina Panthers, move up.

The Cardinals trade back a second time and make a four total draft deals and select 12 players, in addition to picking up five 2024 draft picks.

Below are the moves that were made and players that were selected.
