The point, though, is that the Rams believed that they lost no value in the player they picked by picking at 56 rather than 45. Heck, for all we know if they had no trade partners they might have just picked Rapp at 45.
The trade down, as you point down, wasn't the problem, it was not picking the right guy after Kendricks and Wagner were gone.
I think trading down is a good idea--IF the talent level is the same as it is at your current pick---
if it is not take the pick.
But in relation to this year, if reports are accurate---the talent at 36 is the same as at say 45
UNLESS some 1st rounder falls a long way---and if that is case, don't trade down.
