I've heard in the past from former FO guys that the average draft only has about 18 guys with a first round grade on them, so as a general rule of thumb you are selecting from second round talent to fill out the back end of the first round.  This is why guys like Belicheck are so willing to trade out of the back end for an additional second or third rounder with a team who is willing to come in to the first round to have a shot at putting the 5th year option on a guy they like.  So I'd be curious to know how many times that happened over the last 10 years.

2012: NE traded up to 25 (Denver) the Denver traded down to 36 (Tampa Bay). NE (the original 31) got the best of the deal (Dont'a Hightower)

2013: SF traded up to 18 (Dallas) SF got Eric Reid, Dallas got Fredrickson/Terrence Williams

2014: No Trade

2015: Seattle trade pick and Max Unger to NO for Jimmy Graham and pick 112. Seattle traded back up to 69 (Wash) and got Tyler Lockett.

2016: Denver trade up to 26 (Seattle). Denver select Paxton Lynch. Seattle get Ifemi and a nobody

2017: Atlanta trade up to 26 (Seattle) and take Tac McKinley. Seattle then trade 31 to San Fran for 34, 111. They then trade pick 34 to Jags for 35 and 187. Seattle gets a bunch of nothing

2018: No Trade

2019: Rams trade 31 and 203 to ATL for 45 and 70. Rams then trade 45 to NE for 56 and 101, Rams trade down again 56 to KC for 61 167. Rams then trade 101 and 133 to NE for 97 and 162. Then they trade 162, and 167
Cliffnotes: Rams trade 31 for 61, 70, 101 (up to 97), 162, 167 and get a bunch of nothing. 

2020: SF trade 31, 117, 176 to Minn for 25. SF get Brandon Aiyuk and MIN get Gladney, DL Wonnum, and KJ Osborne.

2021: KC trade 31, 94, 136 to Balt. for 58, 2022 6th RD, Orlando Brown. With 58 KC gets Nick Bolton
