I'm routing for trade downs in Round 1. I could be wrong, but I think when you have trade downs in the first, you have teams accumulating more draft capital later. Those teams that then traded down are more apt to trade up with that excess draft capital to get guys that they've targeted.

I could be wrong on this. It's just a feeling I get. I really, really want to trade down in #2. We almost have to.

I think there is going to be almost zero meaningful trades in this draft.
