If there's one thing you can count on during the every year, it's that there will be dozens of trades over the course of the three-day event. Things tend to get especially crazy in the first round, and we saw that last year when and were both dealt away on the opening night of the draft.Last year, there were nine trades during the first round, and if you've ever wondered why there tends to be so many trades on the opening night, John Schneider has that answer for Ryan Braun Jersey you. According to the general manager, trade talks tend to get hot and heavy in the 48 hours leading up to the draft, which kicks off on Thursday, April 27 this year."That stuff really gets pretty intense, I'd say Tuesday April 25 and Wednesday April 26 ," Schneider said recently, . "Those are really the two days that people kind of set up broad parameters for moving up, moving back at different spots, and then you have to be really pliable once it starts because if you've moved, you've got to be able to move to the other spots or move up. You have to be ready to roll."With just 48 hours Yovani Gallardo Jersey to go until the draft, teams have finalized their draft boards, so now they're trying to figure out where they could move up or down while still being able to land a player they're targeting. For instance, the Seahawks might be willing to trade out of the fifth overall pick down to the seventh spot if they think they can still get a player who they've been eyeing. For the Seahawks, Paul Molitor Jersey this draft represents uncharted territory. Not only do they have two first-round picks, (Nos. 5 and 20), but they're also holding a top-five pick for the first time in Schneider's 13-year run as general manager.Although it's easy to engage in trade talks with other teams when you hold a top-five pick, it's much more difficult for teams picking at the bottom of Milwaukee Brewers Custom Jersey the first round. For instance, take a team like Dallas. The won't be making their first selection until 26th overall, so they'll likely wait to see how the draft plays out before they contemplate making a trade, according to Stephen Jones."I just feel like where we're picking at 26, it's just so difficult to know right now," Jones said, recently, . "You've got to let the draft play out, and that takes hours. You've got plenty of Matt Garza Jersey time to be talking about it as guys are coming off and guys are starting to fall that you might like. Not unlike what happened with a couple years ago. You just really don't know until it happens. You can read all of the mock drafts, you can see all of the things that maybe we're told quietly by other general managers, but you'll never know until you're there." Basically, the draft is a total mystery and no one knows what's going to happen, which is why it brings so much drama every year.
