My only problem with trading down is that chances are, we won't get a true impact player. We traded down last year and even though we got additional picks, none of them turned out to be high impact players.
Even though we have more than a few needs, I really think that quality is more important than quantity. A great player will help the players around him.
I'm not in favor of trading down unless the cost is too high to move up or there is no one available at 13 that would immediately improve our run defense.
Hopefully we won't be picking as early in the first round next year as we are this year, so we should take full advantage of having the 13th over all pick and use it wisely. It's easier to move up from 13 to snag an elite player than it is from 20, 25, or 30. Let's do it now!
