...A first round pick...
we essentially moved up 21 spots from round 4 to 3 and got the first pick in the 2nd round for Cooks

No. Everyone who says this is stupid. Did you know that the 22 pick in the first is really just a high, high, high 2nd round pick? If you look at it that way.....

You can't look at it that way though, because unlike in other rounds, there is a massive difference between the bottom of the 1st and the top of the 2nd - the 5th year option. It is a huge deal with the rookie wage scale under most recent CBA.
I think this is an overrated aspect, but that also makes the spot prime trade bait for QB-needy teams at the top of the 2nd. QBs are extremely expensive - much cheaper to pay a 5th year option after year 4 than to give them their mega deal then. If any of those "1st round QBs" make it to the end, we could see someone like Cleveland come up just to get that 5th year option and we could easily pick up a 3rd or 4th.

Nope. With a 5th year option there is a huge difference between 32 and 33. Tons of teams every year try to trade back in for the last couple of first rounders because that 5th year is HUGE.
Not that's not to say I liked the trade, but it is not a fricking second rounder.
Edit:
And I see this was already addressed several times.
