I don't believe I've suggested either of those are true so far. More so, if you have a player you love and value appropriately , take him. If you don't , move back and get better value if possible.

You haven't, but invariably that's the net result of most of these debates.

The teams trading down haven't gotten more talented players than the Jaguars.

The teams trading down haven't advanced further than the Jaguars.

Very few people on your side have advanced those propositions, even though that's ultimately what teams are going for.  In fact, there was someone else on your side arguing that at least advancing further should not be a criteria for ultimately judging the efficacy of a given draft strategy.

The big criticism is that Caldwell did not maximize value by not trading down.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
