Every draft is different. Talent is not evenly spread, nor does it fit perfectly into a bell curve. Draft charts assume a perfect bell curve in every draft. Therefore, some draft situations will call for trading up, while others will call for trading down. The value of the 5th year option is not a secret to any GM and will be included in any analysis of a draft trade. The merits of a trade-up or trade-down are not automatic.
