Trading up isn't taking the best player available.

It's spending capital to take a player that you feel certain will not be available to you. 

That's how they got Lloyd. And they did it to address their greatest need. 

If you want to argue that Muma was a BPA pick after they spent big to address need, then that makes a little sense I guess.

I was talking about Muma but if you trade up for a player and he isn't BPA on your board that's how you lose a job very quickly.  Lloyd though was absolutely the BPA and probably by a good margin being how Baalke said he was a top 15 player in the draft, unless you just think he lied about that statement. Lloyd was far and away the BPA and a position of need so they made the move.  It's why i was screaming they had to trade up for him
