Interesting article--blurb on trade mechanics

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9393909/2

We've talked the value chart to death on the board for over a month now. Here are a couple of examples from sportsline on real world trades when you get up that high. The article is about why the Jets must take Leinart.

Moving two spots is costly. The last time a club did something like this was 1998, when San Diego moved one position -- from third to second -- to choose its franchise quarterback, Ryan Leaf. It cost the Chargers its first and second (the 32nd overall pick) choices that year, its No. 1 in 1999 and two players.
Now let's fast-forward to 2004, when the New York Giants traded their first choice (the fourth overall) for the first pick of the draft. They surrendered a third-rounder that year and the first- and fifth-round choices in 2005.
Interesting thoughts on what a trade like this should look like.

the values are well established. Well maybe if you are the Saints you can afford to overpay...

2003
#17+#18, 1850pts
for
#6 1600pts

and then draft friggin Sully way higher than projected.

That was like giving away a free high 3rd rounder.

Taking Brees and trading gandy does take away some negotiating power. I'd take a discount on letting the Jets move up the 800pts from 4th to 2nd. Their #35+#71= 785pts, close enough.
