When you look at what they've gotten in those exchanges, it doesn't actually work worth a damn. Hasn't worked well for the Seahawks either and they're probably the 2nd most prone to it.

There's a saying in warfare - "Quantity has a quality all it's own..." It works in that context - throwing bodies at the problem can be fantastic if you're trying to take out a pillbox.

But in the NFL draft, you take the best available prospect 100 times out of 100. Trading out of the 1st to pick up an extra 4th and a 6th is a good way to ensure that you end up with a bunch of mediocrity jam packed on a roster that needs immediate contributors.

If all those CBs come off the board, there are going to be 1st round caliber TEs or DLs available, take one of those, lock up the 5th year option and be happy.
