I've been a big supporter of trade downs. But only if....
You get a huge draft compensation
OR
You think there's either a superstar at a lower positional value like Safety or a very good player at a high positional value like 3-4 OLB at that spot
OR
You're absolutely convinced that there are playmakers you need where you sit (like last year, where I think we absolutely should have traded down)
Because there are playmakers we can take, if we trade down, we sure as hell better get good trade value. And we sure as hell better not take a "safe" position like ILB or RT or a second-tier Safety like Thomas.
