Trading down from teh top 5 picks is difficult and only happens when there is a franchise QB or running back. The Patriots are always picking mid first round and back making it MUCH easier to trade down, than trading a top 5 pick. Trading back just to trade back does not make sense, it has to come with value. If the Chiefs were willing to trade the number 5 pick this year straight across for a number 2 they could have had plenty of trade offers. It doesn't work that way.

So you think Philly would give up 2 third rounders to trade up to 12, but not the same 2 third rounders to trade up to 5? No way. Pioli has said they had offers on the table. There are always deals available what throws a wrench into things is the totally unrealistic value of top 5 picks on the draft trade value chart and teams obsession with it. My intention was to be real conservative and show the type of draft/value you coulda had overall even when taking a trade that was approximately half of the supposed value of that chart. Even a #2 coulda netted the same type of result becuase you coudl then move that #2 for a lower 2 and an extra 3 and the end result woulda been the same.
