Chiefs Approval/Disapproval of The Trade. - Page 8

If you don't know what The Trade is, just go away.

What do you think? This is a public poll, because we're going to come back in five years and revisit this day.

They basically gave up 10 spots in the 3rd and next year's first

Dane is back!

This is true and I back Laz on this. He's been on board with this. I hammer the guy for a ton of shit, but this isn't one of those things.

I'm ok with selecting Mahomes, I really am.

Value wasn't good though. At the very least, we shouldn't have had to give up that extra 3rd round pick this year.

Whatever, nobody wants to hear it.

Enjoy the QB selection.

And the thing is, no one in their right mind can logically argue with this without a crystal ball

**Rain Man** · 04-27-2017, 10:09 PM

I've always had the perception that teams tend to value a next-year pick as being one round less than the same this-year pick.

That would put the value at:

2017 #10 pick - 1,300 points

versus

2017 #27 pick - 680 points
2017 #91 pick - 136 points
2018 1st round pick - 484 points is the equivalent of the 10th pick in the second round, so a one-round discount means it's a 10th pick in the first round.

So overall, it seems like a fair trade or even a good trade if you believe that rule of thumb. I personally think that the draft chart overvalues top-ten picks too much.

I hope Mahomes blows this trade out of the water. I just don't think I would have made the trade.

I said before the pick that i was ok with selecting one.

I was going to trust Dorsey and Reid on this one.

I merely commented on the value, that's all.

The entire draft is a crap shoot.

Teams do their best to vet players (some, better than others) but no team hits 100%.

The Chiefs have been a very good drafting team since 2013.

They deserve the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

It isn't like we went Skins-RGIII or Saints-Ricky Williams style trade or even the Rams last year for Goff.
