The obvious blockbusters happening here in the 2nd round include the Miami Dolphins trading De'Von Achane to the Houston Texans as well as the Dallas Cowboys sending George Pickens packing for Baltimore.
If the Dolphins would make Achane available, they could get a really nice haul for him, and a pick this high in round two would be great value considering Achane is on the final year of his contract. Again, the Dolphins are rebuilding, and they definitely have some playmakers behind Achane on the depth chart to work with (Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon). The question here is whether or not they would truly want to gut the whole roster or keep some of the previous players around.
As for the Cowboys with Pickens, there have been rumors about Dallas being willing to trade him away for a 2nd-round pick after franchise tagging him, which at this point has yet to take place. It makes zero sense for the Cowboys to get no value for Pickens, but it could make sense for them to trade him this offseason.
In this mock draft scenario, the Cowboys obviously swung a deal for Trent McDuffie, and he'd need to get paid. They need to have rookie contract players somewhere, and here they recoup the 2nd-round pick they're missing because of the Quinnen Williams trade.
