They obviously do well with their picks, but I think the better skill there is knowing when to cut your losses and move on -- they have an uncanny read on when someone's value is about to fall off. A lot of guys they let go are picked up by other teams and do very little (Cassel, Wilfork, heck, even Blount only had 766 yards a 2 TDs for the Eagles, down from 1100+ and 18 TDs last year).
McLovin talked about the exact same strategy over and over. That is trading back for more picks. He valued more picks over the "sure thing."

I guess you have to when you take Jones, Cravens, and Doctson in the first three rounds.

Every gm misses and more picks is more chances to get it right.

I still think the hit rate should be higher in the top 3 rounds, or at least not be busts.
