No offense, but you're dead wrong. It's ADVISABLE or not, depending on many factors and points of view, but Brother Metaphor has clearly demonstrated that it is REASONABLE.
Again: No offense, but Brother Metaphor's comment that the Chart is "not foolproof" CLEARLY illustrates that he is NOT applying "absolute values" that for some reason you claim he is: You have just illustrated a perfect example of a Straw Man Argument: INVENTING the other guy's position, in order to knock it down.
For the record: I have NO interest in making the trade he proposes.
1 - How is something "reasonable" yet not "advisable"? If something makes sense to do why would you advise against doing it?
Using one of those words rather than another is distinction without difference, something makes sense or it doesnt, I don't see Dareus as providing more value than Wilkerson & Brooks, if someone can show me he does provide more value than I'll support that position but to do so because someone chose to ascribe a certain point value to a position and assume that draft value exists correspondingly does not make sense.
2 - He said it's not foolproof but decided to use it to try to back up his point and work out a hypothetical trade scenario, what is the point of using that chart if he's then not prepared to stand by it?
So long as he's using it to defend his point there is nothing illogical about me criticizing that use of it, otherwise he'd kinda have the best of both worlds, wouldnt he? He can use it to support his points when he chooses but then claim that it's not foolproof when I point out problem with it.
Good on him for trying to work out a hypothetical trade but I think I demonstrated how we could gain more value by NOT making that trade. Yet again, if someone can show me how Dareus is more valuable than Wilkerson & Reed please do so.
Yet again, The draft point chart does NOT correspond to reality!
