Based on that, I am all for using the 6th, the 3 2nds, and the 3rd to get as many shots in the top 20 as possible and/or add live bodies. Normally, I am all for using the picks, but it just looks like this draft drops off the cliff toward the end of the first round. And the top, I see very little difference in value in that group, once you get past 3. I would love to drop back and draft 10 and 15 or so, grab Jost and one of the 5 defensemen...

That sounds like it would be quite difficult/expensive to move up though.
