I'd take the second, but only because that first trade is a horrible offer. If the Falcons aren't going to give us their 2nd to move up to 6, I would expect at least a third this year and a day 1 selection next year.

If somebody in the 7-10 range wants to trade up, it will cost them a 2nd rounder.

Actually now that I think about it, I'd just tell those teams to "screw off" and keep the No. 6 pick and take Okoye with it. They can take those rip off offers to Arizona.
