Trading down, good or bad ?

So, while In general I am in favor of trading down and getting more picks, I don't think a trade should be made until we are actually on the claoc and know who is available for us to get.

Agree.  

Nobody knows for certain, but I have a feeling that they got burned trading down in the second last year.  When they made the deal, there were a few nice OL available.  They probably thought that one of them would still be around when they moved back, but none were.  I seem to remember rumors of them having an eye on Risner, who went before.  I guess it's a numbers game, but I don't think it worked out the way they thought it would, hence Drew Sample.

EDIT: Just looked at that round and saw that the OL actually went before the Bengals traded back, so I mis-remembered how it went down.
