Draft trades still follow the chart

I've been checking out the trades over the past few years with the new CBA and this has been my observation too. Even the RGIII trade was in line with the chart. Anyway...

The old draft trade chart popularized by Jimmy Johnson’s Dallas Cowboys has been around so long that it feels like it must have grown obsolete. Surprisingly, it hasn’t.

A look at the trades from last year’s draft shows that teams still more or less follow the chart to determine what constitutes a fair trade.

And teams do believe the chart. On the first day of the 2014 NFL draft, there were four trades involving only 2014 picks, and all four of them more or less followed the chart:

Draft trades rarely result in exactly equal swaps of points because two teams looking to trade rarely have the picks that would add up to an exactly equal trade. But they’re usually pretty close.

I definitely want to revisit this thread after this draft weekend is over.

I really want to see if it remains pretty on point in 2015 and see who is generally paying the higher price (according to the points).
