I'd obviously rather than top pick.. But I'm not crapping my pants if we end up at 6th or 7th either. It's a top heavy draft.

Which means that a bunch teams we're competing with will add a same caliber, solid player to their prospect pool already deeper than ours, no? That's why drafting higher than them is so crucial.
No one's crapping their pants, but drafting top 3 this year was THE chance for us to close the gap, rather than simply maintaining it (even that is a big if).
