BTW every year the player draft rankings change dramatically AFTER the college season is over. At this point in 08 Andre Smith was the consensus number one overall pick in the draft. In '13 Teddy Bridgewater was a top 5 pick. In 17 Josh Allen was a late-first, early-second round pick. So was Carson Wentz in 15. The year Ryan Leaf challenged Peyton Manning for number one overall he came from way back at the end of the season.
There is no telling how all these guys shake out and who will be available late in the first round.
On the flip side, if there is a guy that slips out of the first round, some team will be very eager to move up to #33 to get him. When a team gets the night to re-evaluate the board and see where things are, that #33 pick becomes very valuable. We could very easily turn that into an extra second if the board falls right.
