This one features a trade down from 25 with KC, with the Chiefs sending us their 4th round pick to move back 6 spots.
I'm not thrilled with those picks. I'd go for more weapons. I do like the Friermuth pick.
I hate this mock.
With Jenkins, Jaelan Philips and Cosmi on the board I wouldn't trade to get just a 4th rounder, I would stay put and draft one of them (probably Jenkins).
I don't like the Leatherwood/Freiermuth pick especially with Moehrig and Barmore on the board. That's bad value to me and not even the best available players there.
The way the board was falling I'd probably go Jenkins/Moehrig/small trade up from 45 for Barmore.
Or Phillips and a combination of Moehrig/Barmore/best rated OL at 33/45 with the possibility of trading up a few spots based on how the board is falling.
Hate this draft, especially with who's available at all our picks
Holy crap, it's like he went into each pick thinking how he could make the worst pick possible for us.
I don't understand the trade down in round 1. Kansas City trades up to take an offensive tackle and we trade down to take an offensive tackle? Extra picks are always nice, but we already have extra picks in the 4th and 5th round, so I don't know why we would seek out another instead of just taking the better player in round 1.

I could see it if you have two or more tackles remaining on the board with first round grades graded equally and you think at least one of them will be there when you pick later-assuming you are hell bent on drafting a tackle.
Getting an extra pick under those circumstances is almost always beneficial assuming you can still get the targeted player(s). You could always package that extra 4th or whatever to move up.
My problem isn't so much with the trade, but I don't think Leatherwood is that good of a prospect, especially compared with jenkins.
