Vikings trade... Is this true?

[DFWJC]

Yea, if you go by the chart we were like -80 but Oakland was like -520.

That's right.

Until things balanced out later, Oakland completely blew the trade balance out of whack early.
Everyone trading up had huge bargaining power once Oakland gave up the most lobsided trade (by the chart anyway) that I'd ever seen.

By the late 1st round, it seemed back in order.

The last two trades were almost perfect chart-wise.
I bet the rest of the draft is much more orderly because the the talent level is decent and deep.

Vikings got almost exactly what the value chart said they should get.
I mean almost the exact number :
Pats paid 640 and Vikes paid 649

The Cowboys got 80 points less than htey should have by the chart in their trade --which should have been at least another 4th rounder thrown in. But this year, the top half of the draft was out of whack value-wise because everyone was wanting to trade down and there were no mad rushes for QBs.
That's just how it went. I heard sveral teams wanted SF's 31st pick, so there was competion in a bad way.

The team that gave up by the most value was Oakland. That trade was a giant mismatch. The should have gotten at least another 2nd rounder.

But that was the market...take it or leave it.

we got 91.11% value according to the trade chart. they got 101.25%
not much differense really

You didn't know? It's cool to complain and cry

And I guess its cool to complain and cry about who is complaining and crying?

80 points was lot
It amounts to an extra 4th+ maybe 6th at worst and a 2nd (instead of 3rd) at best.

So it is significant.

But it was what it was.
Hope they kill it today .

the bears had already talked to them and ask for a 5th . they refused so you were not getting the 80 points. they did'nt want to trade that bad. i think you could have gotten a little something myself but to think you were gonna get a 4th or anything close to that is wishful thinking. i think a 5th maybe next year which is a valuable pick but we were not getting a whole lot better deal and we got 91.11% value which is pretty close

Pats dropped from 29 to 59. That's a huge drop.

And yet the guy that we drafted at 31 still would have likely been there at 59.

Or not.

Cowboys made this agreement with the 9ers pre-draft, which is just stupider than hadies.

 

[JBell]

Some of you clearly don't understand the value of picks.

"OOOOO Patriots got all those picks from Minnesota for their 1st !!!1!!!!!"

Because they completely moved out of the first round, into the late 2nd.

We stayed in the 1st round.

Don't forget that the Patriots have a worse drafting record than the Cowboys. They live off of Tom Brady and free agents.

The Pats always come out on top in trades, this shouldn't be a surprise. And the Vikes need their 2nd, 3rd and 4th more then the Pats need their 1st. If the chart shows the points are equal in this trade, the chart is just wrong. The pats just trippled their chances on hitting a decent player and thats fair? Come on, common sense must overcome trade points at some stage.
