This. I was never particularly fond of trading all our first rounders for one of the big 3, but I certainly can't fault Feaster for trying. Didn't work, so move on and pick the best guy available. That guy will be our best prospect in years.
All this talk is fantastic, though. I wasn't expecting much fluidity in the top 5, but after that, I think there will be tons of moves/surprises. Bring it on!
