I don't think there's any chance we are drafting in the top 3.  There are 3 clear cut elite prospects in this draft - Lawrence, Fields and Sewell.  Once those guys go off the board, teams aren't going to be giving up multiple picks to move up a few spots.

I think one thing people are missing is that with the salary cap likely to shrink in '21, a lot of teams are not going to be in a position to give up cheap depth to move up for their targeted player.  At least 1/4 of the league is $5+ mil over the projected cap before FA even starts.
