Quote:Its not as easy to get good value in a trade down as it seems

 

That really depends on how deep the draft is.

 

In this draft, it would seem that the value of the players still on the board in the second, third, and perhaps even fourth rounds are higher than the pick's value.

 

I get what you're saying.  Easier said than done, and it's always nicer to get the better end of the bargain.  But in this draft, the second, third, and maybe fourth round picks are probably going to net you players of a higher caliber than the same picks in other drafts.  It's really that deep this season.  A possible reason for that is all the extra underclassmen coming out, but really it's the luck of the draw... and this year, it's very good.
