The only time I would support trading up is if the team feels we are one player away from seriously competing and you can get that player only by trading up (i.e. KC with Mahomes or Ravens with Jackson). But as long as you have multi-player requirements it is foolish to trade up for one player especially a team like the Dolphins who would be better off trading down one or two of their first round picks rather than trading up.Trading up is usually a fool's errand; it costs too much and in the end, you are forced to live or die with that one player. Smart teams trade down, pick up extra picks and invest in development minded coaches.
Once you have a boat-load of picks and a staff that knows what to do with all of the players that you are bringing in, then... AND ONLY THEN... do you consider trading up to get that last piece.
The next step in keeping a winning team intact is knowing when it is prudent to let players walk, and when to overpay for one or two players... (pro tip: NEVER a safety)
