You are GM, do you trade up or down in draft?

you have to be willing to do either of both, based on player evaluation and how the draft is going.

If it gets to your spot and you have 7 players with near-equal grades (factoring in team need), you take calls to trade back.

If there is a player you fall in love with above anyone you can reasonably expect to fall to your spot, you make calls to see what it takes to go get him. If it’s a premium position player and you’re convicted about his ability and makeup, you do what it takes (within reason) to go up and get him.

There’s no “one size fits all” because every draft is so different. You have to be flexible.
