As many football fans understand, nothing is set in stone. Especially when it comes to the Draft. And with the 2024 NFL Draft on the horizon, do you know which team made the most trades in a single Draft?
Each team is guaranteed 7 picks, one for each round. However, rarely is a franchise able to use them all, with the trades in the past or future being the primary reason for the consumption of these picks. But there is one team which has done better than the most!
