The trade up allows us to avoid a 1st RD contract, frees us up to sign long term earlier if works out/cut if not, and get a better prospect in RD 3. It also takes a top QB off the board in case PIT wants to make a move.

IMO folks are "over-valuing" the 1st RD pick thing. Most likely because we've never drafted this late in the 1st RD.

It does hold significant value over a 2nd round pick.  Even a player selected at the end of the 1st round is still covered by the 5th year option contract that players taken in the 2nd are not.

So yeah, unless you approached them about trading down, you ARE doing them a big favor by allowing them to move into the 1st round, as they currently do not have a 1st round pick.
