The bridge between stupid and useless is short.
With the draft upon us and all of the trade talk scenario overkill here I thought it might be worthwhile to review Rick Smith’s draft trades vs. the "ALL POWERFULL" draft value chart. The results are about what I expected…we’re below on points…One adjustment I made on my own was to award the 233 pick a 1 point value (the trade chart doesn’t go that far.) The following links were used as resources.

2007
Traded 107 (80) For 123 (49) and 163 (26.2) = 4.8 points UNDER chart
2008
Traded 18 (900) For 26 (700), 89 (145), and 173 (22.2) = 32.8 points UNDER chart
2010
Traded 51 (390) For 62 (284) and 93 (128) = 22 points OVER chart
Traded up 62 (284) and 150 (31.4) For 58 (320) = 4.6 points OVER chart
Traded 93 (128) For 102 (92) and 144 (34) = 2 points UNDER chart
2011
Traded up 60 (300) For 73 (225) and 138 (37) = 38 points OVER chart
Traded 105 (84) and 178 (20.2) For 127 (45), 144 (34), and 152 (30.6) = 5.4 points OVER chart
2012
Traded 58 (320) and 233 (undefined value ? 1 ?) For 68 (250) and 126 (46) = 25 points UNDER chart
2013
Traded 160 (27.4) For 184 (17.8) and 198 (12.2) = 2.6 points UNDER chart
Traded up 184 (17.8) and 233 (undefined value ? 1 ?) For 176 (21) = 2.2 points OVER chart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collectively, there are a total of 5 trades under chart value by a point total of 67.2. There are a total of 5 trades over chart value by a point total of 72.2. I subtracted 67.2 from 72.2 (5) and then divided by the total number of trades to get a trade average. Our average trade equals .05 points OVER the value chart. No need adjusting your fantasy trades.
