I hate the trading down idea. Trust your scouts and take the best player, don't settle for what's left from a group. Someone will be drafted way higher than anyone thinks and a really good prospect will be available at 12. Get a high end prospect, people use the analogy of "more darts" and I get it because you get more but the issue is that you're the those darts from farther back. Stop trying to be the smartest person in the room and make the smart choice, let 1 or 2 other GM's try to outsmart everyone and capitalize on their mistakes.
At 12 they can get a top 10 pick.
