I don;t think the pidegeon hole themselves at a certian position group in round one, they are looking at BPA and if that is team's # 1 position of need, then great, if not, they grab the BPA anyway.
I don't think a team trades down 3 or 4 spots hoping the top guy on their board falls to them.
There aren't more than 10 guys in this draft with a first round grade. That's why it always gets crazy when the consensus top tier guys are gone. Most drafts have around 15 first round grades and then a pretty large chunk of 2nd round grades. I'd actually be shocked if there were more than 10 guys with true first round grades in this draft.
