Kind of semantics.A more accurate statement would be that they think they can get more value out of the pick by trading down than they can by using the higher pick.
For example, with the Chargers trade, they could easily have taken Dugger at 23, but they figured the likelihood they wouldn't get him at 37 was small enough to trade down and pick up 71 in the process.
Similarly, if you have 5 players more-or-less tied, and someone offers you a chance to trade down 3 spots, you know you're going to get at least one of your targets.
