The other item here is that this is the second (third?) attempt at this trade, with different non-GKC events; on the first one it was noted that there seemed to be a possibility at an undisclosed trade down the line. I can't say that that's true or false, so I can't evaluate based on that.
Let's put it this way: It's really, really close. And I think it's worth reviewing in more depth. I'll put a final answer before GKC (won't be an hour before, unfortunately--work schedules--unless it's issued tonight). And obviously GKC won't proceed past the first pick until a final decision.

TBC has had no talks to my knowledge about any trades down the line with UT, in fact we haven't had any talks about any trades at all, besides declining a couple offers(We trust our picklists, and prefer to trade spots rather than teams.)
As for the first trade, it didn't go through as UT had already traded another team, and thusly we were not able to complete the trade. So now we're trying again with a different event, as the first event chosen isn't realistic given the current 2nd round spots. In fact, this trade is more favorable for UT than the last one(they are gaining +2 in the 2nd round of the non-GKC draft, and compared to the +1 of before.)
