The biggest splash of the NFL pre-season occurred when the Chiefs traded their 2013 second-round pick and a conditional 2014 draft pick for 49ers quarterback Alex Smith. The trade cannot become official until the league year starts, so any projections for the Chiefs are pure speculation. The Chiefs are not the only team dealing with a lot of movement from now until the new league year, and eventually the draft. This mock draft projects which free agents are likely to be retained when evaluating team needs.
