34: WR Xavier Worthy, Texas
38: OT Patrick Paul, Houston
68: CB Max Melton, Rutgers

Chargers receive #4 (Rome Odunze); Pats receive #5 and #37

Another zero-trade mock - except going OT at #3
3 OT Joe Alt
34 QB Bo Nix
68 WR Roman Wilson
103 DT McKinnley Jackson (or could have had CB Mike Sainristill)
137 CB Khyree Jackson (or DT Tyler Davis, based on above)
180 RB Isaac Guerendo
193 Edge Mohamed Kamara
231 S Sione Vaki (or could have had TE McCallan Castles)
Same concept as above, but more offense-centric
3 OT Joe Alt
34 QB Bo Nix
68 WR Ja'Lynn Polk (WRs Roman Wilson, Johnny Wilson also available)
103 RB Jonathon Brooks
137 WR Brenden Rice
180 TE Erick All (RB Isaac Guerendo available here, had I not taken Brooks)
193 Edge Xavier Thomas
231 DT Jowonn Briggs
And yet one more no-trade, OT first mock
3 OT Joe Alt
34 QB Bo Nix
68 WR Xavier Legette
103 DT McKinley Jackson (WR Brenden Rice also available)
137 RB Dylan Laube
180 TE Erick All (DT Khristian Boyd also available, had I taken Rice above)
193 Edge Xavier Thomas
231 CB DeCamerion Richardson
==================================================================
In this one I accepted two trade offers with the first pick, moving from #3 to #4, then #4 to #6
Arizona receives #3 (MHJ) and #68 for #4 and #35
NYG receives #4 (Nabers) and #103 for #6, #47 and #70
Pats now have five of the top 70 picks: 6, 34, 35, 47, 70.
6. QB JJ McCarthy
Now I traded up, in order to get a better OT.
Miami receives #34 and #47; Pats receive #16
16 OT Taliese Fuaga
35 WR McConkey
70 RB Trey Benson
137 TE Theo Johnson
180 DT Khristian Boyd
193 QB Joe Milton
231 S Sione Vaki
There were 8 OTs taken in the first round, which has been the norm.
By trading up the Pats wind up with the #4 ranked OT, rather than the #9 OT.
If I had stayed put I could have had Suamataia at #34, and WR Troy Franklin at #47.
