Where the hell did I ever say that? I was saying the 2 3rd round picks this year are equal draft-trade value of the #17 or #18 pick next year, not any 1st round pick next year.
This how that trade worked out:
Colts received pick #42 (10th pick in 2nd round) (480 pts) and traded pick #126 (30th pick in 4th round) (46 pts) and 2008 first round pick which turned out to be #29 (640pts, but 320 since it's a year later).
The tricky part when dealing future picks is you don't know what position in the round that pick will be. If the Colts 1st round pick this year had been #15 the trade would have been equal value-wise. Higher and the 49ers get the advantage, lower and the Colts get it.
