The problem is figuring out which guy is the right guy. For every Andrew Luck and Cam Newton, there's a JaMarcus Russell or Alex Smith. Peyton Manning yes, David Carr no. Tim Couch? Tim Couch??? Really Browns???
Absolutely, but whether one player is actually WORTH vastly more than the others is different from whether one is VALUED vastly higher. Just look at 2012, when the Rams pocketed an extra two 1sts and a 2nd for moving down four spots, while the next team up, the Vikings, only managed to get day 3 picks for moving down, albeit just 1 slot.
(FWIW I don't believe an NBA-style draft is the answer, though.)
