Trading down in the 3rd makes more sense!!

Sure trading down from 33 probably nets you an extra 3rd rounder, but IMHO it takes us out of an opportunity to draft an elite player that fell out of the 1st round for some reason. There is that guy every year that falls so why should we not capatilize? I think trading back in the 3rd and gaining an extra 4th is the way to go. IMHO those 3rd/4th round guys are all pretty similar it just depends on your scheme as an offense/defense. With what we did this year in free agency I would love something like this:

1-Burrow- QB (LSU)

2) Cesar Ruiz- Guard ( Michigan)

3) Van Jefferson- WR (Florida)

4) Logan Wilson-LB (Wyoming)

4) Josh Uche -Edge/LB ( Michigan)

From what I've seen, I'd say most people saying trade down from 33 are including the caveat that you trade if a first rounder hasn't slid down.  Not all but most.  At the very least, you're almost bound to get some very interesting calls and some appealing offers.  That is going to be a very interesting overnight.
