Quote:No. The general rule of thumb is that a pick one round higher in next year's draft is equivalent to a pick this year. So in lieu of the Jets 2nd round pick, I'd accept their 1st round pick from next year.

 

I would be willing to trade #3 for #6 and ask for very little in return, based on the idea that the players available from pick #3 to pick #6 are so evenly rated, there's so little difference between pick #3 and pick #6.    Every mock draft or top-50 player list has the players in that range rated differently.  

 

Fowler, Beasley, Cooper, White.   I'd be happy with any of those.   So why ask for a king's ransom to trade out?   To me, pick #6 plus a 3rd round pick is worth more than pick #3 alone.
