Trading down, good or bad ?

In a given year how many players drafted actually make the team ? Usually the top 4 are safe but it quickly fades after that.

So how does it help moving down getting (more) overall lower quality players ? I've seen mock drafts having us getting 11, 12, 13 players. There's only gonna be so many spots available.

We just got like 3 or 4 starters on D in free agency and probably another 1 or 2 that will see snaps. Why not stick with the top of each round spots we have instead of getting more of less ?

I just don't see what this infatuation with trading down does for us especially with all the activity in free agency this season.

The draft is a crap shoot.  If you want 4 starters you are more likely to get 4 starters out of 12 picks than 7.
