If they really like Alexander, or WJ3, and think PIT might snag said CB, I could see us going up a handful of spots. We'd be in a fine situation to do so as well, because with 4 comp picks next year we could afford to give up a 3rd next year and still get one back with the comp choice.

From everything I've seen and read, we should be able to get a quality player where we are, and without giving up anything. If we are truly going to lose the 3rd round pick to the "tampering" we can ill afford to trade any picks to move up. JMO

I get what you're saying, but there is always the possibility that Dorsey thinks Alexander or WJ3 can be the perfect compliment to Peters for the next several years, or who knows, maybe it's an entirely different position. But if that would be the case, now is the time to push the chips to the middle with some of our key contributors at critical ages. Of course, Dorsey ultimately sets out to compete every single year, so I wouldn't say it fits his M.O. to make the move. Possible though.
