Since there is a new CBA in the NFL, the traditional draft pick value chart is out of date. I have taken it upon myself to make a new one and I will be breaking down all of the trade deals to see who came out on top.
Trade #8 Baltimore trades the 29th pick to Minnesota for the 35th and 98th picks.
Under the old system: Vikings overpay by a mid 6th rounder to move back in to the 1st.
Under my chart: Ravens win as Vikings overpay by the value of a late 4th round pick.
Eye Test: Vikings reach for a need. Ravens win the pick, unless the Harrison Smith turns out to solidify a weak secondary.

Trade #7 Denver trades the 25th pick to New England for the 31st and 135th picks
Under the old system: Patriots slightly underpay for the ability to move back into the first round by the value of a early 5th round pick
Under my chart: This trade is nearly even.
Eye Test: Another surprise by the Patriots. Both teams get good value. "Eye" have to call this one a tie.

2012 NFL Draft: Breaking Down First Round Trades Seahawks and Eagles
Since there is a new CBA in the NFL, the traditional draft pick value chart is out of date. I have taken it upon myself to make a new one and I will be breaking down all of the trade deals to see who came out on top.
Trade #5 Seattle trades the 11th pick to Philadelphia for the 15th, 114th, and 172 picks
Under the old system: The Eagles win the trade by underpaying by the value of an late third round pick
Under my chart: The Eagles win the trade by the value of a mid third round pick.
Eye Test: Another desperation trade, the Seahawks top targets were both taken in the top 10. While it was smart to move back, the Seahawks didn't move far enough back for who they picked and failed to maximize the value of their pick. Eagles take advantage of a team known to make mistakes under pressure.

Trade #4 St. Louis trades the 6th pick to Dallas for the 14th and 45th picks
Under the old system: Dallas wins this nearly even trade by the value of a late 4th round pick
Under my chart: St. Louis gives back any value it gained for this draft in the Washington deal. Dallas wins the trade by the value of a late 2nd round pick
Eye Test: This deal was made from desperation. All of the Ram's first tier targets had been taken already so they had to get out of the 6th pick. Dallas takes advantage of this and gets a good player at a great value. Dallas wins.

Trade #3 Tampa Bay trades the 5th pick to Jacksonville for the 7th and 101st picks
Under the old system: The trade nearly breaks even, but Jacksonville win the trade by underpaying by the value of an early 4th round pick
Under my chart: Tampa Bay got robbed. Jacksonville should have had to give up an early second round pick to swap spots. Jacksonville wins the trade.
Eye Test: I don't understand why Tampa made this deal. Perhaps they didn't like Claiborne, perhaps they just wanted more picks. Regardless of the reason why the trade was made, Jacksonville clearly comes out on top.

2012 NFL Draft: Breaking Down First Round Trades Browns and Vikings
Since there is a new CBA in the NFL, the traditional draft pick value chart is out of date. I have taken it upon myself to make a new one and I will be breaking down all of the trade deals to see who came out on top.
Trade #2 Minnesota trades the 3rd pick to Cleveland for the 4th, 118th, 139th, and 211th picks
Under the old system: The Vikings gets robbed in this deal by the value of a late second round pick. Cleveland wins the trade
Under my chart: I would say that the Browns underpay for the Viking's pick by the value of an early 4th round pick. Browns win the trade
Eye Test: I think this too is a win-win for both teams. The Browns had 13 picks coming into the draft so giving up 3 late round picks is not particularly damaging. The Vikings get 3 extra picks and still get the player who everyone thought that they were targeting anyway. The eye test says in spite of the difference in value, the Vikings in the trade.
