Every year, the NFL draft features big trades that impact the league for years to come. Within the past year, teams have been willing to part with their first-round picks in order to land superstar players like Micah Parsons, Sauce Gardner, and Trent McDuffie. That should set the table for the first two nights of the draft, as teams survey the market to assess whether it's worth it to trade up in the first few rounds.

This year's prospect class is considered weaker than usual, which means the trades may not come until the middle of the first round. However, trade rumors will surely swirl all night for teams that want to jockey their position as players fall.

Additionally, the back end of the first round is certainly of interest for teams who may be interested in trading back into the first round to secure a quarterback. Last year, the New York Giants got Jaxson Dart at pick No. 26 with a trade, and a similar deal could happen for quarterback Ty Simpson this year.

The Sporting News is tracking every trade in the first three rounds of the NFL draft. Follow along for full updates.
