What we did last year seemed ok and of course we have to wait and see how our top three picks develop, but trading away your 1st round talent opportunity year after year is a recipe for longterm mediocrity IMHO. It can't just be about grabbing more youth... top talent is necessary to be a great team.

That's a good point and I hope we don't trade down just for the sake of trading down. If there's an impact player available I think that's too valuable to pass up at #13. Especially if we're talking about a right tackle that can hold things down for the next 10 years.
