Ask yourself: When have you ever made a relevant comment on CP? [Reply]
I've always had the perception that teams tend to value a next-year pick as being one round less than the same this-year pick.
That would put the value at:
2017 #10 pick - 1,300 points
versus
2017 #27 pick - 680 points
2017 #91 pick - 136 points
2018 1st round pick - 484 points is the equivalent of the 10th pick in the second round, so a one-round discount means it's a 10th pick in the first round.
So overall, it seems like a fair trade or even a good trade if you believe that rule of thumb. I personally think that the draft chart overvalues top-ten picks too much.
I hope Mahomes blows this trade out of the water. I just don't think I would have made the trade. [Reply]

I said before the pick that i was ok with selecting one.
I was going to trust Dorsey and Reid on this one.
I merely commented on the value, that's all. [Reply]

It isn't like we went Skins-RGIII or Saints-Ricky Williams style trade or even the Rams last year for Goff. [Reply]
