There is no defining moment when it became popular in the NFL to swap draft picks. But there's no question that in recent years more and more picks are changing hands. Take last year. There were a possible 256 selections in the 2008 NFL Draft.

What are the possibilities of the Chiefs trading down for more picks.
Four teams need QB's, Donks, 49ers, Bucs, and jets. The donks probably won't trade with a division rival and the bucs don't have enough draft choices to offer. A deal with the jets and 49ers are the best bet.
Two teams need WR's giants and eagles. I don't think the eagles will deal. The giants have stock piled DL and could make an interesting proposal.

That's the million $ question. If there were a rookie salary scale, everyone would consider trading. But with the money the top 10 guys get, it's hard to trade those picks for equal draft value.Quote:

I think the large majority of Chiefs fans want to trade the pick. It doesn't even have to be for equal value. If we could get a 1st and 2nd, it would be a huge win for a team that needs to fill a lot of starting roster spots.
I'm inclined to believe that these type of scenarios are keeping pioli awake at night.
