You might. And who says you're dropping that far?
Say Brown, Nylander, Keller, and all the top defencemen are available at 6. Maybe you know your top pick out of those would last another 2-3 picks. Why WOULDN'T you trade down? It'd be insane not to.
After 5, the chances of you picking up a player that's the best at 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 is pretty close to equal. It's a tight group.
