I think moving down and getting a premium return for the pick can happen if things play out and the last OT or WR with a first round grade is left when Seattle is set to pick at 16

I like the idea of seeing how the run on OT and WR play out in the draft. It is possible that only 1 premium OT is left at 16 and the eagles at 22 are desperate to get that player. We can get 1-22 and 2-50 from the eagles. This is roughly the eagles paying a 20% premium. Much less than selling the number one or four pick in round 1 for a QB, but still this would increase Seattle's overall draft capital 10%.

Now at 22, have all 4 WRs gone? if one is left, Buffalo is in dire need of a WR without Diggs, they take our new 1-22 pick from the eagles, we get 1-28 and 2-60 from Buffalo. This an another premium Seattle is getting for the pick.

In the end Seattle drops from 16 to 22 to 28 in the first round. They wind up with 9 picks overall including 2 second rounders where there once were none.

We can dream...

Designating the dollar as legal tender in 1862 also had the effect of devaluing Confederate money.
