“Every pick that’s happening,” he said, “we’re talking about the potential of trading up or back. When we get to our spot, we’re thinking about not only the player but about trading back and what’s the value in that.

"Is there a group of four players there, that if we move back three spots, we know we’re going to get a good player we like that will help this football team and get an extra pick? Or does it make sense if we’re three picks away and we know that there’s a chance that, [for example] Matt Light, that he’s going to disappear off the board? And what would it cost us to assure that we get the guy that we want? We did that with Matt Light and Ty Warren with the Patriots.”

If that seems like a lot of action in a short amount of time, that’s because it is. Pioli says at the end of the day you should be “emotionally exhausted” rather than sitting around waiting for your turn to pick.

“You have to think – be proactive. Even if you don’t do it, think about different ways that you can strategize at having a better chance of doing what you believe is right.

"Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Sometimes you make moves and you completely blow it and make the wrong choice or wrong decision. or you go up and get a guy that doesn’t work out. As long as you put the time and energy into it, you increase the chances of making good decisions.”
