The #1 overall pick is worth 3000 points on the draft value chart.
The top pick in the second round is worth 580 points. If the Chiefs go 8-8 next year, their second round pick will be worth around 410 points.
What does this mean? It means the Chiefs first round draft choice was worth three times as much as the two second rounders they gave up for Alex Smith. They did NOT trade the equivalent of their first round draft choice for Alex Smith. If the Chiefs had been drafting #16 overall, then the argument would be valid based upon draft value.
