Huh? So the lst two picks in Round #2 are worth the fifth pick in Round #1? The Pats two picks in Round #1 (#21 & # 32) aren't worth the #5 in Round #1. Every single team in the league uses a chart with values very similar to those in the link provided previously - I doubt they are all wrong.

While I would love to agree with you, I can't see a team giving us two 1st round picks for our #5 because the value board says
you should get that. I think it' more so, how badly the team wanting to trade desires that pick or player and how many teams ahead of them wants to make a deal for that pick. that's what controls the value of that pick. I would be absolutely delighted if we got two 1st rounders!

Trade down for Smith or Wilfolk, who will both have more of a positive impact on their teams than Taylor.
