It looks like we may end up in the 8-11 range in the draft especially
with the run we have going. 

(You are correct, Sir. Perhaps, even higher if the C's were
willing to package one of next year's picks with the current draft
choice.) 

With guys like Fizer & Barkely and possibly Haywood , Mike Miller & some
High school kids entering , we might not get a bad player and it would
be nice to move someone for a late first rounder

(Very little interest in the C's overpriced scrap-heapers for a
late first round (perhaps offering some team, two 2nd round
picks, but I applaud you're thinking).

 and pick up an eraser like Ken Johnson if his stock does not rise
significantly.
 
Haywood would be nice. Przybilla ? Dez Mason ? Eric Barkley ? Demarr
Johnson would great but he probably be gone.
