Teams sniffing for a QB don’t always make just one jump, they scale down the board in stages. It’s less scary for a trade partner trading back from 7 to 12 etc.. during that second stage.Agreed. We have a lot to be disgusted about when it comes to past drafts. 2015 is a prime example.Thankfully we have a new GM that so far has only used a trade back to then move forward to acquire substantial draft capital. We went back 3 spots and lost our 3rd rounder but acquired a 3rd day pick and a #30. That move took a calculated jab in the side (lost a 3rd rounder in 2018) but it set us up for a knock out punch this round in 2019.I wouldn’t be surprised if Gute moved up once or twice. If we look at it from the perspective of us normally starting at #30 in most years, we have #12 and it wouldn’t take much more to nail our 1st pick.As an example, IF Devin White is there at pick 9.. I’d consider trading #12, #75, #226 For #9 and #112.Then we could package #112 and #118 to get back inside the back of round 3.We’d still have a 4th, 5th and two 6ths on day 3.That would likely give us the 7th overall best non-QB selection in this draft without losing our shorts. We’d  give up a 4th rounder and move back 15-20 selections round 3 to get a player that has a legitimate chance to be “rookie of the year”</blockquote>
