This is why I am always against giving up picks in order to move up in the draft. I think the best way to improve your chances of getting a good player is to have the most picks. That does not mean I would give up the #9 pick for two or three 7th round picks, but my general draft trade strategy would be to get the most picks possible in the first three rounds.
Fred, I caught hell for this logic. I suggested trying to get more picks via AJ trade, trade back however yet was told we have enough picks. I dont think there is such a thing as too many picks. Its a crap shoot, a lottery, the more chances you have the better your odds. Also various other reasons such as having collateral to maneuver or just having more picks to increase your odds on players you want being there. We will continue to pick up players after the draft anyway and even then guys we want will go somewhere else since they can decide where they want to go if multiple teams want them.
