Draft trade value charts are never accurate, because they can't take into account who is on the board when you make the trade, and how badly your trading partner wants that guy, or how foolish your trading partner is, or how badly you want to trade down.   Nevertheless, they do provide some reference to what we could possibly get in a trade down.   Here is a link to one draft trade value chart.

What it shows is that if someone wanted to trade up from pick # 6 to pick # 3, they would have to give us a pick or picks worth approximately the 31st pick in the draft.  

 

If I were the Jags, that would be a very tempting offer.  For example, say Atlanta wants Clowney and he is on the board when it comes our turn to pick.  They give us the 6th pick in the first round, plus their 2nd round pick and their 4th round pick.   We take Mack with the 6th pick and then we use Atlanta's traded picks  to get  back  into the first round and get Dee Ford.    So we would have traded Clowney for Mack and Dee Ford.  

 

This is why I love the idea of trading down.  According to the chart, trading down from 3rd pick to the 6th pick should net us the equivalent of a late first round pick in a very talent rich draft.
