I think dippedncrack calculation for trade value is a little off.
I was thinking about taking Motorboat up on that one too, but then that would have left me without a 2
nd or 3
rd round pick. You can’t just go by draft choices and add them up to see what would be equal. Because when you look at this your way, I can see why you think it isn’t a fair trade.
To The Cleveland Plane Dealer Nearly New Jets:
61, 397, 482 = 940
To Kelly1:
116, 164, 212=492
You are not taking into account how much more valuable pick 61 is. Kelly is giving up a 3
rd round pick. That is a fairly big deal. The one thing I noticed with later rounds, the players you value rarely equal the players other people value. But those first few rounds, most of the players are pretty consistent consensus as worthy high draft choices.
Also, the NFL has a chart for draft trade point analysis.

You can’t really compare it to our draft, but it is similar. Giving more “points” to the higher draft picks, and less to the later round draft picks.
Either way, it is all in fun. : )
