Last time we traded down (last time I remember) we traded down from our first-round pick (26th overall) to get the Buffalo Bills' second- and third-round selections (Nos. 42 and 73 overall). So dropping 16 spots got us an extra third round pick.
Here is the draft value chart:

I'd like to do a similar deal this year and trade out of the first round by dealing our #18 to Cleveland for their #36 and #50 (maybe we have to throw in a 5th round pick to make it work). A trade like this would give us the #36, #49, #50 in the 2nd round and #84 and #97 (assuming we get the end of the 3rd round compensatory pick) in the 3rd round.
3 second round picks could be just what this team needs. I think we could pick up a solid wide out (Kenny Britt
or even a Heyward-Bey or Hakeem Nicks if they dropped out of the low first to the early second). With the #49 we could likely get one of the top 2 safeties and the #50 could land us a stud to play right tackle like Steven Beatty or Phil Loadholt. If we left this draft with Britt(WR), William Moore(S), and Loadholt(OT) or their equivalents, I'd be clapping for JA all summer.
Thoughts? Other scenarios?
Good find, WAYSA! I'm not going to base my opinion on one game but there were 3 plays in those clips where Moore looking pretty darn bad. Benn was shedding him with no problem. Bad tackling technique. He has been running well and his pro day saw him run in the 4.4's so he's climbing up draft charts to the point where he may not even be an option in the 2nd round.
