In the 2013 draft, 73 juniors declared for the NFL draft. In 2014, 98 juniors declared for the NFL draft. That number is expected to rise once again in 2015.
The point is that there will be so much talent available that trading up would be a mistake considering that a second round value in 2012 could be had in the fourth round of 2015. In 2014, it's easy to argue that the Chiefs (and other teams, of course) were getting a full round higher in value for their second and third day selections.
Now, if Dorsey were to trade Eric Berry for a third rounder, giving the Chiefs three thirds, it wouldn't be surprising if he packaged a third and a fifth in order to jump up to the late second/early third.
But since Compensatory Picks aren't tradeable, I'd be surprised to see him package up picks and move up the board.
