The reason i believe you have a better chance to trade down now with 33 pick is time.. time for teams to evaluate draft board, how the draft went... especially with teams now not grouped together with the social distancing.. communications and clarity might take more time..

I also see some RB need teams (Seattle/Miami that come to mind) that might want to jump up at 33.. 

It's only happened a few times over the last 10 years. But, a really cool thing I saw the other day were all the teams who stayed and made their picks at #33, only a few of those picks have panned out over the years. Only 1 or 2 picks have made Pro Bowls.

So, I guess what it was saying to me then was if you can find a trade partner, make that trade for an extra pick or picks. Because you're really not missing out on as much as you think you are at that point.
