Chiefs GM Scott Pioli Says Trade Chart Is Outdated
Chiefs GM Scott Pioli Says Trade Chart Is Outdated
by Joel Thorman on Apr 22, 2010 1:00 PM PDT in 2010 Draft 88 comments, 88 new We've talked on occasion about the trade value chart. It's essentially a chart developed years ago that gives a point value for each draft pick and outlines what's needed to make a trade. It used to be the way trades were facilitated in the NFL. However, as Chiefs GM Scott Pioli explained today on KCChiefs.com, the financial ramifications of a top pick are not reflected in the chart. "Everyone has a trade value sheet," he said. "Years ago, I remember when I first was in draft rooms, watching people with the numbers and going down the list saying 'If we trade this pick, it gives us X points, and then they'll give us Y and Z but those are still 200 points behind where we want to be.' "Conceptually," he continued, "that was a great idea in the past. In recent years, the trade charts never took into account the cost of picks from a financial standpoint. That was something that was missing." Pioli says he tried to create a new chart while in New England with the finances accurately reflected in the point value of each pick but ultimately couldn't come up with a chart that works. "You can look at different models and systems but at the end of the day you have to sit there and think, 'How much do we want that player?'" Pioli was part of the Patriots that made 29 trades with draft picks and nearly two-thirds of the league so make no bones about it - he likes to make trades. "I love to trade because I think it creates opportunity." Now, about that trade partner.... |

Oh for ****s sake. If you read between the lines, it means that Pioli may be willing to get raped in the ass in order to move down.
Good grief This morning started out so promising.......

There is a distinct possibility that Friday night will end and I'll dislike Pioli with the same fervor as my hatred for Dayton Moore.
Please, please, don't **** this thing up you hyped mother****er. |

The fact that many of you believe Pioli is incorrect is simply stunning to me. If you believe he is close to being the only GM in the leauge that thinks this way you are pretty ignorant yourself.
The financial implications of picking high in the draft weren't an issue when the chart was created because rookies weren't breaking the bank. The highest paid players in the leauge were not and should not be rookies taken high in the draft before doing a damn thing. It is outdated and that is not that hard to understand unless you just want to bitch. |
