The NFL Combine has come to a close and with it comes an unrealistic amount of shifting on media draft boards. The reality is that the combine does very little to the stock of 95% of the prospects in attendance on actual NFL team draft boards; however, it does provide a chance for media to talk to the movers and shakers of the league and get a better idea of where a prospect belongs in the draft.
With that, here is my third mock draft of the year, again with trades.
