Some teams are set at tackle and not looking for a starter early. Or corner. Or what they need (LB, G, S, TE) can be found later, so they are willing to move down for more assets. Others may have to move up to get what they want (QB seekers).
Great points! Factor in as well how a player fits a scheme. While many feel Orlando Brown Jr. was a mediocre LT in KC some of that can be contributed to the QB he was blocking for. The very things that make Mahomes a great QB are things that also can make him a nightmare to block for. He drops deeper than any QB I have ever seen and he moves around the pocket constantly with what I would describe as happy feet. On the other hand what Joey B needs is an OT that will not get pushed back into him by bull rushers. So it would make sense that Orlando make look a heck of a sight better blocking for Joey who slides up in the pocket instead of east and west.
Different pass rushers as well may have different values in different systems depending upon how the coordinator uses those rushers. There are many more variables than X guy is a good player.
