I don't think there's a set formula.
Like last year they moved down twice for a total of what 5 spots? I'm sure they didn't think they could move that far on the first deal, but then some wildcards were taken and they could move again.
If they have say six names that they're happy with at 12, and four are left when 12 comes up theoretically they could move back to 15 and be happy.
But if the team they are dealing with is up front on who they're moving up to take and that players isn't one of the four ... suddenly 16 would work.
Last year was a little nerve wracking but getting two thirds for moving twice was pretty solid business. With the upheaval in this draft they may back up twice again and end up past 20 and still get a guy they want.
Could be a draft where you move down with your first and up with your second to get two players you want.
