Trade back looks great on paper, as we fans think highly of a lot of those guys. Who's to say how it turns out in reality. Hell, just last year many of us thought that the Bengals killed the draft, and right now the book is still open on that chapter.
But in regard to your OP question, definitely the trade back. Although the guys you took in regular are pretty damn good, too.

I like the trade back better myself. I like both of the Mocks though. Don't see Byron Murphy lasting until 31 at all though.
The stand pat Mock is more realistic in my opinion just because of this.

I still think they killed the draft last year. It's just that people VASTLY overestimate rookie contributions. Look at how good Logan Wilson has been, but he graded only a 57 as a rookie.

I also feel like last year's draft was very successful and will ultimately prove to have gained several valuable contributors and good players. However for some, it's either great from the get go, or it's a bust. The reality is that it takes time to truly determine the quality of a draft class.

Its why its hard to grade a draft right away... The better team you have the less likely you have to play rookies right away
