I would agree in a normal draft. But everything I've read here suggests there will be just as good of talent in the mid-40s as at 31 this year. Early round picks are so crucial to this team and it should endeavor to obtain additional capital every year. The Sneed pick is a perfect example -- it gives Veach additional flexibility.
I do readily admit that I'm no expert -- almost all of my knowledge of this year's class comes from you, Staylor, Run, and Duncan. Given the shape of this class, doesn't it make sense to trade down this year for a valuable pick next year? Of course, that's not Veach's normal pattern but I believe it's a good idea.
