I don't think it is worth it. The draft is just too random. Every year there are first round picks that bust and guys drafted in later rounds that ever team misses on. I can see trading up into the top 10 for an elite prospect, but after that it gets more hit-and-miss.
The best way to increase your chances of getting a good player is to have more picks. Again, I don't mean trade your first round pick for twenty 6th and 7 round picks, But I don't think it is worth giving up an entire pick just to improve your chances slightly on another pick.
If I were a GM I would generally like to trade back, but only to get 2nd and third round picks. And there are not usually of lot of potions like that unless you have a top 10 pick.
