Dropping back 3 spots to pick 20 a 100 point difference. (round 4 pick #4)  Yea agree if we can't get fair value just pick (unless the compensation is close and you KNOW you can get your next target)

Yeah if you move back 4 or more you might get a late 3rd.  Definitely an overpay to move back 1-3 spots though.  I seem to recall us moving up a couple of spots to 5 to select Blackmon years ago and it only cost us a 4th but the points chart suggested it should have been solidly a 3rd.  Miami would have to be in love with a guy to pay a 3rd to move up 4 spots to come get him is all.  That said, I'm probably not interested in moving back to scoop up another 4th unless I'm sure I can get my guy ala like Baalke did last year with the trade prior to selecting Harris. 4th rounders aren't worthless, but missing out on your guy or trading back and missing on a higher tier graded player for a 4th is a significant error IMO.

Yep, yep yep.  The issue is not the team you are trading with. You can normally get them to give you some insight to offense/defense and sometime position group. If they don't just turn them down. That is what happened last year with Harris.  The issue really is the teams between your pick and theirs. They could possibly pick your target or trade their pick to someone who will. This year's draft is important in that if the Jags are in fact what we want them to be, it will be a long time before we get this high of draft picks.
