Vic, can you explain to me how a team would trade up to get a higher pick in the draft/round?
You work the phones; you’re always working the phones. If you’re lucky, you’ll find a team that wants to come down. That’s the best arrangement because both teams are motivated to make the deal, and the team coming down may be willing to do the deal without holding you up. I think the Packers found such a trade partner in the Patriots when they did the trade that brought them Clay Matthews. Why is it nobody mentions that move when explaining why the Packers should be more like the Patriots?
