If we all trade down together, we'll have accomplished nothing.

If indeed this is a deep, middle-heavy draft, it makes sense that general managers might want to move down in order to collect extra picks. But the supply and demand have to be somewhat balanced in order for that to happen.

Every time a team moves back, a team must move up. And since the slotting system in the new collective bargaining agreement limits what you have to pay top-10 picks (and every other pick, for that matter) there's no reason to be shy about moving up and getting someone you feel strongly about.

GMs don't mess around when a player they really want is up for grabs. If he's in that range on their board and they're on the clock, they take him.

In fact, on Tuesday, we had our first indication that not everyone is in the trade-down club, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting that the Falcons are "open to trading up" from the No. 6 spot.
