Every move they can do carries risk. This isn't the time to be risk averse and end up going into next year with a question mark. Whether it's signing a FA, finding a trade, or trading up for a draft pick, they need to go 100% at it.
If it means the rookie LT will have growing pains and at times make mistakes, fine. That will be the coaching staffs job to coach him up and Patrick to help him out when he can and not exacerbate those mistakes.

You are forgetting one important aspect of this: there are generally only 13-15 real first rd grades in a draft class. Who wants to trade back in this scenario?
Teams aren’t gonna want to trade down to 31 and pass up elite caliber talent. The Dolphins or Colts for example are not trading back with us for more picks when Tyler Warren is there for the taking
