One thing to remember when looking at charts such as that one (there are several versions, some more accurate than others) is that the actual value of a draft pick is whatever the two teams involved decide it is. If one team really wants to trade up or down, it's often willing to overpay or to receive less than what the chart might say is appropriate. Also, more than half of all draft trades are simple two-for-one trades, and only about 10 percent involve more than one pick for each team. So teams don't usually nit-pick over a few "points" here and there, trying to balance out the equation. As long as the values are close and both teams get the picks to suit their purposes, that's usually good enough.


For further reference, here are all of the draft trades (involving picks only) since 1996, and almost all of them from 1992-1995 --

I might be reading this wrong, but how did the 5th and the 7th pick each get traded for the 12th and 71st pick (plus the other stuff)?

The Saints traded all of that to the Redskins to get up to the fifth pick for Ricky Williams. The Redskins then used Nos. 12 and 71 and some other picks to trade back up to the seventh pick for Champ Bailey. The Bears used the 12th pick on Cade McNown.

Talk about nobody winning on a trade.

Ha! That made me laugh out loud. Good one, BZ.
