I could see Ted pulling something like trading with Denver and giving them the #32 and #64 for their #36 and #46. I could see Ted targeting a player he projects gone by the middle of round two and making a move to secure two good players vs waiting to see what's there at #64.
Of course there would have to be a player there at #32 Denver wants that they feel will be gone by #36 and I have no idea what the "chart" says or what all it would take to make this equitable.
This just kind of strikes a chord with how I see Ted manipulating a draft. He gets the two guys he wants by the end of round two without really giving anything up.

Yeah, I could see something similar. Ted seems to target in a on a few guys and them does what it takes to get them. Whether that is trading back, trading up, or even "reaching" for some guys. I remember most draft experts thought he reached for James Jones, Josh Sitton, Nick Collins, and Mike Neal. All turned out to be great players, that Ted probably had no problem taking "earlier than he was supposed to."
People always say the the Packers are successful because of how Ted drafts, but really, the scouts are the ones who deserve a lot of the credit (not knocking Ted, he'd say the same thing). They tell Ted that this guy can play, and this guy can't. Then Ted does what it takes to get those guys on his team.
