Doing some research last night, I found that in the 13 Marvin Lewis drafts, only TWICE did we have less than 8 picks to work with, in 2005 and 2007 we had 7. This year, everyone should already know that we have 7.
My conclusion from this is that I'd be willing to bet we trade back at some point in the draft. We've lost more than we've gained this offseason and while I don't think this team is in dire need of extra draft picks, history has shown we value draft picks more than the average team.
Of course this could mean nothing since they've done it before, but out of all the years to predict a trade back, I'd say this year is pretty likely.
