Why make a trade to jump two spots when nobody knows who will be there?

Why make the jump to two spots PERIOD in this weak draft? This might be just a move to minimize the guys your going to have to sign to a contract at the end of the draft??

I read on espn that they are very interested in getting some international player. The reason they moved up two spots is because sacramento who has #23 also has a lot of interest in that player.
