According to the NFL trade value chart, the value for pick #9 = 1350. The value for #15 = 1050. The 2nd round equivalent to 15 = 430. Therefore, the team trading up would be giving up "too much" if it gave up the 2nd rounder too, but "not enough" if it gave up the 3rd rounder (1350 for 1480).

A near-identical match would be the Bengals #9 (1350 pts) for the Eagles #15 (1050 pts) plus their 3rd (195 pts), 4th (72 pts), and 5th (34.5 pts) = 1351.5.

This is obviously assuming teams are going directly by this trade value chart, which is really just a guideline. If a team really wants someone such that they're willing to trade up, they likely will offer a higher value than the trade value chart dictates.
