Okay here's the options
1. Amobi Okoye
2. Alan Branch
3. Jamal Anderson
4. Laron Landry
Now there are some trade offers too...
1. Atlanta- 8th and 75th overall for the 6th (ATL takes Landry)
2. Buffalo- 12th overall and 43 overall for the 6th and 143rd overall
or 12, 74th, 92nd and 184th overall for 6th overall (BUF takes Peterson)

I like the Atlanta trade, and we should even be able to get one of their two second rounders as opposed to their third if we negotiate it well, but I can't in good faith expect them to go Landry with Okoye still there. In your scenario, you assume they are going with Landry, in which case I would trade down and get Okoye.
However, if I was the GM, I would just make the Okoye selection at 6. I wouldn't risk trading spots with his college coach and ending up stuck at 8 and being forced to trade down again.
If we are going to pass on Okoye, I would want to trade down into the bottom half of the round and try to get Branch, Justin Harrell, or even Carriker if he falls there. It's tough to expect teams more than 10 picks below you to come up with enough value to warrent a trade up. I don't see it happening.
So I'd just grab Okoye at 6, unless I thought that Atlanta was going with Landry regardless.
