Trading Down in 1st/2nd Round

However, for practical purposes, if there's nobody you like at a pick, what makes you think another team is going to give up a bunch to move into said spot? Need comes into play, obviously, but unless a team is desperate for a QB or completely in love with a certain prospect, it rarely happens.

As always, it depends on who's on the board and what the offer is.

As an aside, folks really need to stop hinging the success of failure of this draft on the Bengals getting or not getting Sweat. In all likelihood, they won't draft him, and those people are just setting themselves up for hysterics when it doesn't happen.

Probably the post of the day. Pretty much agree with everything you said here.
