A thread on the #NYG trade return relative to past draft trades around the same area of the draft, per Jimmy Johnson’s trade chart (not gospel)

(Future 1st rounders will be counted as the value of 32, 590 points...other future picks will be the 15th pick in that round)

cont...

The value based on the chart for the #Giants trade

2021

cont...

Great trade here for both teams, but Mahomes

2017

KC: Pick 10 (1300)
Patrick Mahomes (he good)

BUF: 27 (680), pick 91 (136), future 1st (1,406)
Tre’Davious White, traded to Rams (John Johnson), trade up for Tremaine Edmunds

Buffalo + 106

Outcome: It’s Mahomes

That same draft class for the #Texans

2017

HOU: 12th (1200)
DeShaun Watson

CLE: 25th (720), future one (1310) (not 590, we know the value, skews number)

Jabrill Peppers, Denzel Ward

Cleveland + 110

Outcome: Watson is too talented (everything else with him is TBD)

cont...

2016

TEN: 8th (1400), 176th (21), (1421)
Jack Conklin, traded

CLE: 15th (1050), 76th (210), future 2nd (450), (1421)
Corey Coleman, Shon Coleman, DeShone Kizer

Broke even numerically

Outcome: Ironically, Conklin is now a Brown, and none of those Browns are #Browns

cont...

Is the trade value chart antiquated, probably, but it does assign some numerical value to draft position. My method isn’t a perfect formula (all first round picks from teams aren’t worth the same), but we work with what we have...

cont...

Out of these 6 trades, the #Giants had the best numerical return of value by 42 points...

The future assets can be used to help the roster or for trade ammunition in a more certain 2022 draft...

Sounds great, but if Fields ends up like Mahomes, it certainly won’t feel good.
