If you consider moving up 23 spots in the 3rd RD being a "nice guy" I'll take it. Seattle is a team we give 2 shits about. 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.
