Lets say a talent like Raji or Orakpo falls close to us and we didn't think there was any chance in hell of that happening. At what point would you trade up to get the impact player?
According to the draft pick value chart:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/news/story?id=2410670
Our 15th pick is worth 1050 points. To get one of these guys i'd be willing to give up the 15 (1050) and the 77 (205) which would be worth 1255 points or roughly the 11th overall pick (1250).
I would only give up 2 picks for 1 highly rated player like a Raji or Orakpo because I dont believe that giving up 3 picks is a good value when Smithiak has proven they can find productive players in the later rounds of the draft.
However, if we gave up pick 118 (58) then we would be trading 1313 points or roughly the 10th overall pick (1300). In this crazy draft day scenario there is a very slim chance either of these guys fall to # 10 but crazier things have happened on draft day.
Personally, I wouldn't give up the extra 4th to move up the extra slot, but if one of these guys fell to 11 i'd be falling over myself if I were Smithiak to make that trade happen (1st and 3rd for Orakpo or Raji). I believe either of them solidifies our DL, particularly BJ Raji who is the closest thing to Albert Haynesworth in this draft.
