The No. 1 pick in the NFL draft has already traded hands with Carolina sending it more than a year ago to Chicago in a trade to move up to take Bryce Young first overall in 2023.
Based on recent history, plenty more first-round picks should change hands on Thursday night with teams either looking to move up a spot or two for a specific player, or make a bigger investment with future picks to trade up for a franchise quarterback.
Over the past five drafts, there have been 28 trades during the first day of the draft that included first-round picks with five of those deals involving picks in the top 10.
Three of those five draft-day trades involving top 10 picks came last season with Arizona’s Monti Ossenfort making two of them. The Cardinals traded down from No. 3 to No. 12 to let Houston take eventual Defensive Rookie of the Year Will Anderson Jr.
