Trading up in the first round of the draft is a concept that generates lots of chatter. The players higher up in the draft are more exciting than the ones available later in the draft. So what if we packaged multiple assets in order to obtain one really good prospect?
In practice, those types of moves rarely happen. It turns out that other teams share your observation about the top of the draft. They too think there are some very exciting players available earlier in the draft, and the reasons you want to trade up are the very reasons they’d prefer to stay where they are!
