the point is you are passing on players you actually like to gamble that one of them will be available later. Snead loves taking this gamble. I would just prefer staying put and taking that player. We have enough picks, unless someone blows you away with an offer that includes 2nd or 3rd rd picks, otherwise not worth dropping imho.
How do you know they are passing on players they actually like to trade down? Let me answer for you. You don't! I don't. No one does.
And that doesn't line up with what we know now on how Snead operates. He targets specific players he likes and moves to that area in the draft that aligns with value. For all we know, they would have drafted Pead at 40 if they didn't do the small trade back.
