Looking at the Draft, many of us feel that if the player that we want is not there, we should trade down; however, there is a Very Strong sentiment here that "Trading down is not that easy" because you need a partner, etc....
If trading down is difficult for the Bills then it should be as difficult for other teams. So all NFL Teams should have an equally difficult time trading down:
Looks LIke this:
1) Trading up/Down is Difficult for NFL Teams
2) Bills are an NFL Team
Conclusion: Trading down will be difficult for the Bills or any other NFL Team
However Teams Like NE have an easy time trading up or down, evident by the number of times that they moved up/down in the last years draft and other years.
If it was so Difficult, trading down once may have been an anomaly, but they traded down 3x in the same round!!!.... So, for NE moving around in the Draft has shown to be easy.
Looks like this:
1) NE has traded up and down in recent drafts with ease
2) NE is an NFL team
Conclusion: Some NFL Teams can trade up/down with ease
So Do you think its an NFL thing where trading up/down is very difficult or a Team thing where some teams are better an negotiating and moving up/down in the draft?
FYI: Some things truly are difficult to do in the NFL like Trading Star Players for Star Players -you see it more often in the NBA, NHL- and this difficulty is there for all Teams... so its rare Where as swapping picks, trading picks, happens just about every year.
