The trade is a strategy that has been commonplace in the NFL Draft for decades now and it’s always good for a quick dose of excitement when one does go down.
Some teams may be looking to give up some valuable assets to move up and select a player they may not have been able to get with their original selection. Others are tempted by the offers of the latter group and see the value more in accumulating a mass amount of assets rather than staying put and selecting at their current pick.
Quantity over quality, if you will.
