it's been overly stated that likelihood of tradin down is about nill, as all the players that are the one's to have are in the top 8. after 8, it's 15 -25.. you have to have someone want 10 to be a partner.
People talk about trading down like we can do it easily, but they fail to recongnize the point you made about how the talent drops off after the 1st 8 picks and the next 15-20 players will have similar grades. If anything it's more likely that we trade up instead of trading down.
