Well GMs make that gamble all the time. They set their board and they try project where the other teams rank/rate players and they try to find out which teams like which players.That how/why teams trade up to get 'in front' of other teams.
They also adjust their board as the draft unfolds. If their is a run a certain position then naturally the other prospects at that position get moved up...etc...
No GM wants to draft a player, even if they like that player, higher then they need to. GMs talk all the time about wanting a player and thinking/hoping a player will fall to them and sweating it out..sometimes they're right but sometimes their wrong.
