NFL free agency does not begin until next week (March 10), but activity swelled Wednesday as trades were unofficially executed and more players were added to the chopping block, released. A flurry of moves will likely continue over the next few days as teams position themselves for the start of the legal tampering period Monday and the subsequent start of free agency Wednesday.

Normally for my post-combine mock, I like to propose a few trade ideas. But I found it tough to do with this class because teams like the depth on Day 2 a whole lot more than the options in a relatively light first round.

Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders will be the first two quarterbacks selected in next month’s NFL draft. Where they go is still uncertain. The first three teams — Titans, Browns and Giants — each need a quarterback but Ward and Sanders aren’t locked in at 1-2 like Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels in 2024 and Bryce Young and C.
