The best data I have seen for draft success is to accrue picks. If we have someone willing to trade up in the first round and we can get their first and second for it you have to do it.

I'm all for that! But too much trading down is a trap. Shanny proved that by picking up a bunch of late round picks that weren't worth spit.

No doubt. Success rate drops dramatically. Accrue late rounders by dumping underperforming (for the system) high salary guys that other teams still covet. Ravens do this, so do the Pats.

No you don't if clear and obvious talent is available in your draft slot. Shanny traded #10 overall in 2011 to accumulate picks that I believe turned into Kerrigan at #16 overall, Hankerson in round 3, and Helu in round 4, but in the process, passed on the chance to select J.J. Watt or Robert Quinn. Regardless of who plays QB here next year, I hope that the FO puts special emphasis on upgrading the O-line. Williams and Lichtensteiger are the only legit starters on our O-line now.
