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. It doesn’t sound like teams will be eager to give away second- or even third-round picks to move up — the main exception being at No. 1, if/when the Titans decide to bolt from the top pick.Among the candidates for a possible trade up, the Browns and Giants are the clear favorites to make a move…
