This is what is going to make this draft very interesting. So many options for every team in the top seven we could potentially see one or even two players drop or rise.

I really do believe as it stands now, the only sure bet is Jones going to COL. FLA and TB are coin flips on how they draft. I get the sense though there are going to be a few teams very conflicted on who to take in the top five.

I am starting to think like a few others though, keep the picks we have and have a strong draft and stuff the cupboards full. But Feaster isn't doing his job if he isn't exploring every opportunity to trade up with every team above them right up to the last second of every pick.

One more thing, those two extra firsts the Flames have are of high value in this draft as it is really deep. More so than most other drafts.
