Because you can't afford 20 more players at camp. Your broke remember.

Besides, id rather have the best 4 from the first 4 rounds than the best 10 out of the 7th.

Not true. Only the highest-paid 51 players (or is it 53 players, I'm not sure which) count against the salary cap. You can have as many players you want after that. In theory.

I think trading out of the first round is a very good idea if there's not a player there you really want. If this really is the deepest draft in 15 years like some people are saying then teams will be pulling a lot of very good players out of the 3rd and 4th rounds. I could see trading our first for a high-ish 2nd and a couple 3rds and making out like bandits on that deal.

That is correct and the number is 51. That said, camp is for player evaluation and there are only x number of reps to be had.

What is better for evaluation purposes?
8 WR get 20 reps a piece
20 WR get 8 reps a piece

I'm also not sure Benson wants to pay 15 warm bodies $925/week to just show up for camp and get cut.

Keep something in mind also, moving the draft date to May 8-10 takes 3 weeks away from coaches and drafted players before camp starts.
