With hindsight, it's always better to trade down. Using the famous non-trade with the Chiefs and subsequent trades that actually happened, I offer for your consideration:
Trades:
26 = 31,95
58 = 65,188,230
95 = 122,139,168
Picks:
31 Avila LG/C
65 Sanders LB
90 Ika DT
122 Rush CB
129 Abanikanda RB
139 Perry WR
168 McClendon RT/RG
169 Richards LT/LG
188 Kuntz TE
212 Vaughn RB
230 Johnson SS
244 Hickman FS
Pros: Everyone is starter worthy as a rookie. Avila immediately fixes the OL hole. Sanders is Parsons Jr. Ika is a solid 2-down DT. Kuntz will be as good as Schoonmaker with coaching.
Cons: No Mazi.
If our original draft grade was a B-. then the trade down version is an A, if I say so myself.
