Trading back makes sense

Trading is making sense to me. I traded back twice in a recent mock and landed at 18 and was able to get Emeka Egbuka there which I think is realistic. I believe you can do this and come away Egbuka, a dtackle, a corner, and a running back.

In my mock I came up with:
Egbuka
Trey Amos
Kenneth Grant
Kaleb Johnson

Of course in real life you probably don't get those 4 players, but I think you probably get Egbuka and the chance of getting 3 good players that can start at the other 3 positions.
 
Think if the draft goes as expected, the two players at 12 I would draft are Jeanty and McMillan. Those are the only 2 I can see being available. Would attempt to trade down if both are gone. The worry is if no one wants to trade up. Hoping Sanders falls and desirable OTs that team fall in love with are their at 12.
 
Have to say a trade back might be best. By all opinions from the media and apparently many teams, there are only 5 or 6 blue chip players in this draft and after that most of the grades are fringe 1st round guys to 2nd round guys. RB seems to have many good options after Jeanty through the 5th to top of 6th round. As WR, as one NFL executive quoted none of the current players at WR expected to go 1st round would have nothing better than 2nd round last year.

If we can trade back once or twice and still end up with a late 1st round pick but extra 2nd and/or 3rd and/or 4th, then we should do it. JMO.
