sounds like you have a great plan

 

Trading down to #6 recoups value. 

 

I understand you are probably like Gene Smith and puff your chest out thinking - I will take MY player ANYWHERE I want....macho jumbo - you know, the kind of attitude that gets you Alualu at pick 11....., but smart people assign proper value to perspective draft picks and try to get those players where they belong. 

 

Its entirely possible that one of the big 3 falls to 6. I think it should be Bortles, since he's the least talented of the 3. 

 

If all 3 are indeed gone, then you take Mack or the BAP at that point (6), or even trade down some more. 

 

The idea is to have contingency plans....something Gene Smith was either too stupid or too proud to do.
