I think it depends what sort of player we are after in the first round.


If we want a tackle or a running back (or a position which is less highly valued) and we think this is a deep draft with good players in later rounds, then trading down sounds like a very sensible idea.


But, I think we will be chasing a pass rusher (or maybe a wide receiver). I think we need to stay in the top eight for that.


The only thing that makes me nervous is trading down without a plan, simply because another team has made what appears to be a generous offer.
