Some people are almost afraid to take some players.  We have 10 picks.  That's a lot.  Call me crazy, but I don't want another 15 rookies on this team.  

 

Being at #3 can be a good thing.

 

If we find that at #39, there's at least 8-10 guys left that we have graded similarly, then yes - trade down 5 spots and grab your guy and you get an extra pick.

 

But some people talk as if trading down out of the top 5 is almost always the right thing to do.  I personally think Bridgewater is worth a top 3 pick, as is Clowney.  

 

And that is without a doubt.  Hopefully one of them falls to us.  Manziel would be exciting, but I think he's a boom or bust.
