What is the point of that though? That is a once in a blue moon thing that ever happens in real life (maybe the Cowboys stealing Tony Dorsett from Seattle in 1976).

Might was well do one of those silly mock generator drafts where you get thirty draft choices.

Something like that ruins the integrity of the exercise to begin with.

Just an FYI, I don't grade mocks in this exercise based on how they are able to pull off trades and stockpile picks or some team making some bold move for a blue chipper. Maybe that is just me.

Totally understand and in no way am I degrading what a fantastic exercise this is. Risen puts in hours of his own time for this and I am truly grateful for that effort.
I understand that the premise was people were trading low round picks years down the line, it ruined the integrity of the draft but I don't think this trade or similar top end desks would, jmo. I am all over this draft again next year......

That was a very British reply.

Give me an example of a team going from 20 to 1 in the actual draft.

Going from 20 to 1 is irrelevant I think.

The skins gave up 3 first round picks to go from 6 to 2 and that included firsts in 2 subsequent years.....
