With so much uncertainty surrounding when the NFL season will start because of the coronavirus pandemic, it remains to be seen when Williams will play in his next one.

I love a good NFL mock draft, but there’s one problem with everyone’s favorite April exercise: The vast majority of mock drafts don’t feature trades, and in the modern NFL, trades are a must.
