I could see it if you have two or more tackles remaining on the board with first round grades graded equally and you think at least one of them will be there when you pick later-assuming you are hell bent on drafting a tackle. 

Getting an extra pick under those circumstances is almost always beneficial assuming you can still get the targeted player(s).  You could always package that extra 4th or whatever to move up. 

My problem isn't so much with the trade, but I don't think Leatherwood is that good of a prospect, especially compared with jenkins.
