Round 2 is not Round 1.   Same goes for trading late round 2 for top of round 3 and on through the draft.  I don't see why an owner would want pick 31 or pick 32.  Trade back for the 1st pick in round 2.  Start the 2nd day of the Draft the first team on The Board. Gives you a whole day to decide your pick. Saves you Round 1 money.  Mover from pick 31 or 32 to pick 33 to start Round 2.   I would also trade pick 63 or 64 for pick 65 to start round 3.  Basic Economics as Bengals try to resign and keep most of their Super Bowl Team Players. 

Money is slotted now. The difference in cap hit per year between pick 32 and pick 42 is about 1m.

In 2021 Joe Tryon was picked 32 by the Buccaneers. https://overthecap.com/player/joe-tryon/9496/ . Liam Eichenberg was picked 42 by the Dolphins https://overthecap.com/player/liam-eichenberg/9506/

Joe Tryon makes 11 million in 4 years and Liam Eichenberg makes 8 million in 4 years. This is very little especially considering Joe Tryon gets that very important 5th year option that Eichenberg doesnt.


Unless a team wants to really fork over high compensation to move up stay and pick in the first round.



Edit: Also Who Dey Kevin Bengals are going to the Superbowl!
