I don't think it would take two 3rds in this draft

the top 4 are all thought of as very good and it was a special case in that it was two twins that everyone knew Burke coveted

I think it's going to come down to personal preference

if someone for example really wants Jones, they would probably be willing to give up more to move to 1st overall to guarantee him ahead of the 3 forwards
