In my opinion I don't think it's worth giving up assets at the moment to move up 2 spots. The top 10 is pretty bereft with defense men, but that doesn't mean we can't get a dman next year, or later in the draft.
Giving up defense to get defense is just a circle jerk. You take one of the top 3 centers if we get them and move on. The difference between moving up likely isn't worth the assets we'd have to give up to get the kid.
I'm happy picking any one of the top 5. Whatever we get, we're going to get some serious talent to shore up what we have. None of the kids in the top 5 are runts (All over 6 feet) and none are slackers in their relevant skill sets either. I think the discussion is moot, unless for some reason we can completely rob Florida.
We're not talking about a Crosby vs #2 pick situation, we're talking about a Good defense man or a good forward, either way it'll be just fine.
