Both the Niners (at #1 overall) and the Dolphins (at #2 overall) are ACTIVELY looking to trade down. The reason is that the consensus this year is that the draft is one of the worst ones in memory in terms of "star players" and "impact players".

Everyone will be looking to try to get more picks in lower spots (smaller cap hits) and so that market may be difficult to navigate. Now if a team really wants to move up and thinks it has some kind of scouting edge, they COULD grab the #1 and #2 picks this year. If a team does that, their scouts better be right because those contracts will become painful in about 3 years...
