Like as in "IF Laz knew anything about the NFL, he'd be a valuable poster".

Most of the time teams value the pick next year the same as the 1st of the team they are trading down with. Also, trades into the top ten tend to add around 15% to the cost historically.

Conservative estimate would be 680+680+136 = 1496 and 1300*15% = 1495. Draft day value was about spot on. We'll see what happens with actual value next year I suppose.

You're still here??

Why?

Oh, yeah. We have another year of check downs in the way.

Hey look it's Laz to bitch about something.

Remember when the Chiefs didn't have a plan to get a QB? Sure didn't look like it tonight.
Btw-the Chiefs still have EIGHT picks including 1 in every single round and they will also be getting almost $14 million in $$ next year from cutting/trading Alex.

You really do bitch just to bitch. You must be unbearable in real life dude

I'm not sure I follow, but I know that picks next year have significantly less value than it's equal slot in this years draft.

Future picks almost always get a full round of depreciation when used as trades.

That 2018 1st should only be worth 310 points.

Dorsey basically got full value for a future pick.

Old timers: when was the last time CP had this much consensus on a draft pick or trade?
[Reply]

I commented about the value.

The fact that you can't comprehend that is on you, not me.

I said the value was poor BUT we got the guy we wanted.

Can you understand?

You won't because you don't want to, so whatever.

It's strange to see Tiger and Clay in relatively the same corner about a football related issue.
[Reply]

WE FUCKING STOLE A FRANCHISE QB.
[Reply]

Now, while you criticize the few of us.. Ask yourselves... When has a franchise ever successfully traded away that much in picks receiving both good value AND an elite QB.
[Reply]

The team that is trading up, their pick next year is usually valued the same as this year's pick. So, Buffalo would value KC's 2018 1st with the same amount of points as this year's 1st. Basically team's assume approximately the same performance next year.

Trades into the top ten have shown that the trade value chart is off by about 15%, so it actually costs more to move into those positions on average. The Chiefs traded into the 10 spot, so history says that 1300 needs to be adjusted up roughly 15%.

Then, just follow the math.

Eric Berry was a pretty special pick. Everyone thought we were going with a fatty. Seeing Eric on the phone during our slot was a legendary moment in this site's history.

The consensus (outside of Sac, rip), was that Pioli nailed it.

He did.
[Reply]

If we win the super bowl and pick 32.

if not the value gets worse with each slot our pick goes higher.

I'm ok with selecting Mahomes, I really am.

Value wasn't good though. At the very least, we shouldn't have had to give up that extra 3rd round pick this year.

Whatever, nobody wants to hear it.

Enjoy the QB selection.
