Unless a Nolen or Harmon drop, this appears to be a great year to move back. If, for example, we could get another team's second-round pick for next season and a later-round pick this season I'd happily trade down a dozen spots.
There will likely still be very good picks available: Henderson, Conerly, Burden, Tuimoloau, Ersey. A starter can still be had. And we all know how valuable the Sneed pick is this year (66) -- it sure would be great to have an even more valuable pick next year.
If an unexpected player drops to the team at 31 by all means make the selection. But it seems this year there is a larger than normal group of good picks beginning in the second round. The team would have to give up the fifth year option -- which is valuable. But I don't know if that value is high enough to overcome the need for future premium picks to stock the cupboard.
