no doubt, but I'm not sure where those additional picks in the higher rounds would come from, especially in a trade with Miami. Maybe 2019 picks, but I'm not a big fan of future picks. The trade I listed at least allows Ballard to move from 3rd (#67) to 2nd (#42) and from 4th (#104) to 3rd (#73). And someone like Smith, Edmunds or Fitzpatrick should still be there at #11.
If, and only if, Chubb is already gone at #6, I'd think about making that kind of trade if it were offered (rather than using the pick on Nelson). If Barkley's still there at #6, my fear is that the owner will "overrule" the GM and use the pick rather than trading it.
