I think trading down to take a marginal first rounder and a second rounder is a mistake when there are impact players available at your pick. You trade down when you think you can't get value with your pick. For example I would not want one of the first 3 picks in this year's draft as none of the guys are clear cut future pro bowlers. But from probably 7-12 there is a lot of value to be on the board. The players here are as good as any in the recent past. I like picking at 9 this year. I'd love to trade down to 11 AND still get a WR and a pick if possible. No lower though. The drop off after 11 or so is precipitous.
