Trading down from 31/32 and why you should throw away the theory

I don't think I can really pull it off, but what I'd love to see happen is for us to somehow take picks 32, 64, 94 and 132 to end up with 3 picks somewhere between 45 and 55.

Because if you did that, I think you could end up with one of the raw/athletic TEs, Walker, and a really nice DT prospect.

Would there be a way to manage that and come out of this draft with Amegadjie, Walker and Sweat?

I agree that a trade down in a vacuum isn't likely to do what we want here, but what if we used that trade down to generate a little more capital that would then allow us to trade UP with a couple other picks and eventually work ourselves into position to have more capital in the fat part of the depth of the draft?
