Comparing the 2 WRs and the price, ATL paid an insane amount of picks to move up. It also proves we can potentially find a good WR with our current picks that fits in perfectly with what we need (someone like Smith).

The draft is such a crapshoot (just pull up any year and look at all the 1st round flameouts from supposedly can't miss prospects). As a general proposition, the only scenario I can really see trading away a bunch of picks to move up is to take a perceived franchise QB. That's about the only situation I would consider doing it.
