In a draft this deep, the second round carries even more value, and as such, you aren't going to get a great offer to move down. So even if it was worth passing on an elite talent for that extra pick, you aren't getting it because those picks have more value this year.
Of course, what we also forget is that multiple second round picks benefit teams whose cores are largely built and are in need of good, but not great, players to fill holes cheaply for 3-5 years.
We still don't have our core.
