I can get behind that. For Karlaftis or Williams or whoever. If the guy they want is sitting there at 21 and all it costs them is a 3rd to get there, I'm game.
That's the first suggested trade-up that I can stomach.
(Then he goes and blows the rest of the mock by taking Boye Mafe at 30, which is just a bad pick, IMO. Still don't know how you take a 24 yr old rookie w/ productivity and polish issues that high)

I like Nate a lot, but his reliance on Pro Football Focus for his mock drafts make them pretty bad.
Boye Mafe is a not a good fit for KC's currrent scheme. He's a 34 OLB/2-point stance guy. I like that Drake Jackson is young and has a frame and think that's more of a long-term fit than Mafe.
Re: a scenario where the Patriots work the Chiefs and Packers against each other if a WR the Packers want is on the board... cool. Let them do that. Let the Packers overpay.
And then call the Patriots and get 22 from them and take the DE you want.
I just don't see trading up for a WR in this group unless Olave is in a range they can get to.
