If there are like 3 guys they like near equally they can probably feel comfortable trading down 7-8 spots.
Last thing they should be doing is trading the pick. This is an easy opportunity to add some cheap quality players and there should be some potential rotation guys down there.
This draft, more than others, is going to be unpredictable. Keep #31, pick the guy you like and be done with it instead of trading down and then maybe he's gone.
All options are on the table. I am merely suggesting that since in most professional sports the 1st pick of another day of selections typically is coveted by other teams who recognize a desirable player, there will quite possibly be an opportunity to trade the pick to such a team who will be more likely to overpay for it after engaging in a bidding war.
Masai has some leverage with #31.
