Here's a run-down of a 1st round trade between CIN and NE last year, written by Geoff Hobson, B'gals beat writer 4/24/13.
Excerpts:
..."Those familiar with how the trade went down last year say it's pretty typical of how deals in the first round, and sometimes even in the second round, get done. There is usually some contact a few days before the draft where the sides don't express exact or definite terms, but they're both left with the sense there is interest."...
..."Therein is another trade-down principle. If you're looking to trade back, canvassing the teams behind you isn't a great way to do it because you've tipped your hand, foot and everything else."...
The team trading up can do the focusing on the one player and typically it won't tell the other team who it has targeted. Belichick hung up to see if what he wanted was going to be there or else it wouldn't happen"...
