24 + 28 = 10

Would like to see the second round values as well, as that is what I think they will do with one of their first round pix for this year and next. Trade one of their #1's for #2 this year and next.

Um...8.

Maybe he meant "for sure," or maybe he just added wrong. I don't know how these trades go. Do they add the points "exactly" or do they negotiate?

When it comes to trades, negotiating is never an option. I am pretty sure that negotiation, independent thought, and a desire to win are all banned as part of the agreement with the players' association.

The only problem I have with the chart is that it doesn't take into account two things, 1) a player or two who may be head and shoulders above the rest of the draft and 2) the relative weakness or streength of a draft class. In a draft with ten top players and then a substnatial dropoff, the value of the top ten whould be much higher as it should be for one player who stands out.
It is a great equalizer but it should be taken with a grain of salt. In addition with the disparity in salaries given to the top 4 or 5 players (which was not true when this chart was originated by the Cowboys Jimmy Johnson IIRC in the early 90's), I think some tweaking is necessary to increase the value at the top.
Just my $0.02,

The chart is a tool (perhaps in more ways than one ). From what I've read, it was intended as a starting point, not as the be-all-and-end-all it's become.

If a team's willing to sweeten the pot (or accept less, etc.), then you'll often find the numbers don't match up exactly.

For example, last year, the Pats traded 52 [380] and 75 [215] for Green Bay's 36 [540]. So, in theory, the Packers should have given their fifth-rounder* to the Pats [~30] to even things out. But, in the grand scheme of things, making the trade was more important to Belioli than getting 100% of the "owed" value.

Of course, the chart is almost 20 years old, and doesn't reflect the change in contract length (6/5 in the first round, 4 thereafter).

*Pick #119 is worth 56, so anything after that would "work" in this regard.

I hate the stupid chart. On draft day they're trading for players not numbers on a chart. It was cool when first disclosed now it's just a pain in the ass other than a rough guide.

I just posted this chart just so you guys have something else to consider during the draft and btw the full chart (with all the rounds and points) can be found here : http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/8358748

Its just a guide, obviously. Any chart of this type could never be 100% perfect.

That being said, the Pats picks should enable BB to move up into the top 10 (and draft Willis) if one of the teams from 8-10 was willing to trade out of their spot.

Belipioli does not like to draft lbs's high due to the complexity of our system. Unless Willis falls to 24, I dont see any way we trade up for him. Not unless the pats change there entire draft history.

No one knows what BB/Pioli are going to do. Just because they haven't done something in the past doesn't mean they won't do it - see last year drafting a RB in the first round.
