Re: Trade down from 3rd?
I'd keep the 3rd overall as he'll most likely be better than anything you'd get with the other picks. You'll have to look at moving some of your higher priced talent out in the next year or two, but those trades are doable at that time and you should ride the talent while you have it. I'm assuming you're competing.
I'd look at moving OEL, Marchand, and Yandle in the next year or two to recoup picks/prospects rather than trading the 3rd overall or trading a star in advance of a large payday.
