Well, the examples above are interesting. the first example the #3 overall pick was traded with a very high third round pick. This netted the team a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in return.
A good return on investment, but not a huge bounty of picks. Basically, the 1st was traded for a 1st and second, and the third was traded for a third and fourth.
In 2000, the team that wanted the third pick was the Redskins, so of course they overpaid. Even still, it was two firsts, a fourth and a fifth.
Last year, the Chiefs were offered the 10th overall pick, a 7th round pick and a first round pick in this year's draft for the #5 pick.
I think that Pioli would have taken that deal. I think that Pioli will be fine with taking a similar deal this year.
Will it be below market value according to the 'chart'? Probably, but it isn't about winning every deal on paper.... it is about doing everything you can to build the best possible team.
