Here is the Rich Hill Draft Value Trade Chart. It was last updated in 2017 and used historical draft trade data going back through 2011.
I just wonder if the recent QB trades combined with the increasing importance of the QB position make these carts semi-obsolete.
According to the chart the number 7 pick is worth 425.50 points.
The Pats have
- 1.15 -- (315.20 points)
- 2.46 -- (127.71)
- 3.96 -- (39.38)
- 4.120 - (23.10)
- 4.122 - (22.09)
- 4.139 - (15.13)
- 5.177 - (6.49)
- 6.188 - (5.08)
- 6.197 - (4.16)
- 7.242 - (1.53)
So in theory the Pats would need to trade their 1st and 2nd, and then would be in line to ask for a bit more back from Detroit (their 4.112 for our 4.139) along with the Lions #7 pick.
While not having another pick until #96 would be far from ideal, with a 3rd and four 4ths there would be plenty of draft capital to move back up. Another option would be to ask for a 2022 3rd rather than a 2021 4th.
Not having 3.77 (idiotic filming of Bengals sideline) starts to look more egregious now; that would have been worth 59.85 points.
In terms of trading up for Atlanta's #4, that becomes more problematic; the #4 is worth 490.52. In other words the Pats would need to package 1.15, 2.46, 3.96 and 5.177. Now in this scenario the Pats would not have another draft pick all the way until 4.120, even worse than the 3.96 situation above.
