Maybe, but this sounds similarly conclusion-jumping and GM mind reading as my initial knee jerk take to the pick was.
Don't see a ton of point in being that critical about liking the idea of us swapping 16 for 18 and picking up a 3rd or 4th because the team below us might be desperate to get a guy not named Honzek who was sliding.
There are different angles to look at it from.
The potential upside is you have more picks and still get Honzek 2 picks later.
If you put out a couple feelers to the teams in between and get the sense that you can still get him, then why not?
