You don’t then trade down the next draft when elite level players at impact positions are available. I don’t see how you can justify passing on Oliver or Bosa for more picks when you refused to do it with Nelson (a guard) at 6. Unless someone offers a Ricky Williams type deal of course.

This exactly. He had the opportunity to cash the Nelson pick in for 12 and 22, and turned it down. Ballard values the lines and impact players. A top 5 pick will mean Bosa or Oliver.
