I thought this was a very good article about the draft and how trading picks usually ends up being a very bad thing. It's also why I was against trading so much for RGIII a couple years ago.
I found this quote by Eric DeCosta to be the key to it all.
You want to know the difference between good teams and bad ones? Bad ones trade their picks away for gambles, while the smart ones know that it's a numbers game.

That is an interesting quote when you consider it comes from one of the most respected and I would say a very successful front office. One thing the Ravens do not do very often is trade picks away.
