3 1st round picks? not likely, 2 for sure, and a 2nd in either the '08 or '09 drafts, and probably a 5th
Lets create a hypothetical scenario...
1) lets say we'll need to get to 3rd pick to get DMac
2) lets say we'll get 30th pick this year and next year (even though I think it will be 32nd
).
3) lets say Browns 1st round pick end up at 20th.
3rd pick value points = 2,200 points
20th pick value points = 850
30th pick value points = 620 x 2 = 1,240 (keep in mind that 2009's draft pick is devalued for 2008 draft trade)
1,240 + 850 = 2,090 (not enough for 3rd pick)
add our 2008 3rd round draft pick = 124 + 2,090 = 2,214
So, we'll need give whoever 2008's two #1s, 2009 #1 and this year's 3rd round pick in order to get to 3rd pick in 2008.
Now, I understand the value chart isn't end all, be all but does give some guidelines for trade values.
