I fully understand it can be done, but practically every year you have a team that would love to trade out and stock pile picks that can't find any takers. I watch the draft every single year and if you do as well you hear them talk about the team in that spot wanting to move down.
Sometimes you have a draft where a guy is perceived as an absolute can't miss talent (franchise QB for example) and the team doesn't want to trade down, but almost always the teams try and fail. Why? Typically the teams picking in those top 5 spots have NUMEROUS holes to fill. So to list 3 times that it happened (one being forced by a QB) out of 10+ years is to say that it can happen but is difficult. By the way, that is exactly what I said to begin with.
