For the record, I do believe there will be some wheeling and dealing in the NFL draft, but I chose not to mention it in my mock.
Here are a few teams that are (or could be) looking to move.
Miami Dolphins: Obviously they don't want the burden of signing a #1 overall pick. But, no team is likely to trade up to this spot, based on the value it carries. They may however, try to get back into the first round, maybe into the 20s, should a QB strike their fancy.
Kansas City Chiefs: Word is the Chiefs don't want to stay in the #5 slot. Realistically, they could trade down a few spots and still take Sederick Ellis, but all eyes will be on whether or not the Chiefs decide to go to Matt Ryan. But, if you are the Chiefs, you need to find ways to fill as many holes as you can.
New England Patriots: Bill Belichick loves to be a wild card come draft day. They do not want to stay in the #7 slot, or so they make us think. My guess is they will attempt to trade down to the mid-teens and pick up the top rated linebacker or cornerback on the board.
Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons will select Glenn Dorsey at number three, but with three second round picks, they could have another pick in the first round in their sights. My guess for the Falcons is they trade back into the first round in an attempt to snag Brian Brohm.
Dallas Cowboys: Whether or not the Pac Man trade goes through, the Cowboys are said to be looking for a cornerback with one of their two first round picks. There are also rumours that they could be shopping the other pick for a top notch wide receiver. Chad Johnson, Roy Williams and Anquan Boldin have all been mentioned.

I like the last trade you put up there... your Cowboys I strongly believe are going to make a deal but I think it will be based on them acquiring Pacman.
also...SLANDER!
