Regarding acquiring 2 picks in the top 20, I think that would be difficult. Remember moving up and swapping places with another team would get them our 15, and that's hard enough to do. Acquiring another top 20 pick without doing that would be even harder, but if we offer 3 2nd's then I suppose a team would think about it. I just think a top 20 pick in this year's draft is too valuable to give up. It is a good question though.
Saying that, I'm sure Treliving is working out many different scenarios, and he does have chips to play with. I think he would rather move up and draft someone in the top 10, then give up all his 2nd's and draft twice in the top 20. It is an interesting thought though because 2 top 20 picks could set us up for years. It would still mean we stay the course in terms of building the team through the draft. I don't know, it's just exciting to know what could happen here.

Toronto's pick @24 is there for the taking. Thats an assumption by me of course but they do not have any 2nd round picks.
