Is it? I know the risks in moving him for a pick - but this is strong draft.

Sure, I'd be happy to get more from New Jersey - and actual trade negotiations would see that come through perhaps. But my main point is to target that 7th overall above all else. I think you're getting a high impact centre at that spot.
