Because we could still get a top talent.
Let's say the board falls like this, which it definitely could:
1. Miami- J. Long
2. St. Louis- G. Dorsey
3. Atlanta- M. Ryan
4. Oakland- C. Long
we know the Jets like McFadden and the Patriots like Gholston, so in this scenario we would be assured of landing Ellis. Or at the worst, we would get Gholston.
Even if the Falcons take C. Long and then Oakland takes Gholston, then we could move back one spot and still take Ellis or Ryan. Seems like a win/win for us and we gain another pick in the top 3 rounds.
