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 since 1996, and almost all of them from 1992-1995 --

perfect recent example of Adam's reply...Cleveland last yr giving up a 2nd rd pick to move one spot...they gave up 7 and 37 for 6...7+37= 2140 pts, 6=1700 pts...it was an awful trade, by the value chart they should have been able to do this deal for a 1st and 4th..but they were so enamored with Winslow they did the deal anyway.

[Verdict]

There is a lot of dispartity in what compensation was given to trade up/down. I guess that it depends on how bad you want to move up/down and whether there is competition to move up/down. It is really surprising how much/little was given to move in some cases.

Was going to post the same thing. That was a complete robbery. And you can easily argue that the 7th pick (Roy Williams) is a much better player than the 6th pick (Winslow). There certainly wasn't a comparison in their rookie years.

There's no wonder that Cleveland is looking to completely start over from the top down.

Ditka was an idiot. A team would be foolish not to do this trade.
