Well...I think someone else mentioned this...if you miss out on all top talent..there will be no market for the 13th pick, therefore, you cannot trade down.
We will basically be stuck in the 13th slot unless there is someone left that a playoff team is drooling over...Are there any scenarios where that is even possible?

Yes. If Sanchez is left and we actually are not interested in him, the Jets at 17 might be.

If the Lions go OT at #1, they may be willing to move #20 to move up and get Sanchez.

There must be more scenarios. For example, it is possible that no CB's come off of the board before 13. Someone lower, like the Fins or Pats, may want to move up to grab their favorite CB.
