Buffalo86 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) According to the Jimmy Johnson draft value chart: Bills give up: #10: 1300 pts Chiefs give up: #27: 680 pts #91: 136 pts Next year's 1st: 330 pts* (*Based on the guesstimate that the Chiefs will have the 25th pick next year, and the somewhat accepted rule that a 1st round pick this year = a 2nd round pick next year.) If you buy all of that, we gave up 1300 pts for 1146, a loss of 154. Per the chart, that's the equivalent of losing the #87 pick of the draft. In that sense, it looks like the Chiefs got the better end of the deal. But what of this value chart? Do other teams actually go by it? Here are the rest of tonight's deals, scored according to the value chart: 1. 49ers / Bears 49ers give up #2 (2600). Bears give up #3 (2200), 67 (255), 111 (72), and next year's 3rd (80*) - (2607). The 49ers win by a whopping 7 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 2. Browns / Texans Browns give up #12 (1200). Texans give up #25 (720) and next year's 1st (330*) - (1050) Texans win by 150 points. By these metrics, they lost the #88 pick. Not a totally unexpected outcome when dealing with the Browns, and poor value according to the chart. 3. Seahawks / Falcons Seahawks give up #26 (700). Falcons give up #31 (600), #95 (120), and 249 (1) - (721). Seahawks win by 21 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 4. Packers / Browns Packers give up #29 (640). Browns give up #33 (580) and #108 (79) - (659) Packers win this trade by 19 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 5. Seahawks / 49ers Seahawks give up #31 (600). 49ers give up #34 (560), 111 (72) - (632). Seahawks win by 32 points, the equivalent of the #138 pick. Pretty even trade according to the value chart. Here are tonight's winners & losers according to Jimmy's value chart: Chiefs: +154 Texans: +150 Seahawks: +53 Packers: +19 Bears: -7 Falcons: -21 49ers: -25 Bills: -154 Browns: -169 Edited April 28, 2017 by Buffalo86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the people that are a little concerned about the Bills are more concerned because of the lack of consistent plan over the last 4 17 years. If you disagreed with some of the offseason moves in the past, then why is it lattimore vs white/1/3. It's only that based on earlier decisions that many may have also disagreed with. All of this is a roundabout way of saying that I'm definitely not excited. They have to prove me wrong and I'll be so happy when they finally do. If they really made this move as ammo for a top QB (it's not that simple, lol), I'll probably be happier a year from now.

At that point you have to put some value on Gilmore's $13 million per year contract and at that point are we giving up Sammy Watkins in 2018? (Who knows, you may be ok with that - I wouldn't though).

That's the fun of watching this whole thing go down though. I definitely don't know if Gilmore + Mahomes is better. I did the least draft prep I've ever done this year which is why most of my issues with the team are stemming from mistakes they have been making over time. I think if Mahomes or Watson turn out to be great then it's really all dumb because we missed out on those guys. The Gilmore contract vs Watkins is an interesting take. I really don't know what to do with Watkins next year, but if the plan is truly Tyrod, then yeah...what's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money (Gilmore + Mahomes vs Taylor + White) would basically be a wash. True, but that would mean throwing Mahomes into the fire. The Chiefs aren't doing that, and a few other QB needy teams didn't want that. That tells me he needs to sit behind someone, so we likely would still start Taylor.

mannc Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Draft trade value charts don't take into consideration the strengths or weaknesses of the draft. Moving back to 27 and picking up an extra third in an extremely deep draft has extra value, it seems to me. And of course KC might suck this year. They open with the Pats, I think, which creates a bit of a dilemma. Edited April 28, 2017 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Why is the Bills, by way of the Chiefs #1 next year only rated at 330 pts? Seems like an error to me, when the Bills #27 this year was rated 680 pts. Even though the chart is nonsense, it is an error. The Bills came out ahead by over 150 points according to that chart, OP fix your bad math. 680 + 680 + 91 = 1451 - 1300 = +151 Factor in the Chiefs are not likely to pick 27th again, likely higher and a 3rd round pick this year will get you a similar player to a 2nd round pick most years and the Bills likely added another 200-300 points of "value".

oldmanfan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I recall listening to an interview with Polian a few years ago when the concept of this draft value chart came up. He laughed and said no one in the league pays any attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 According to the Jimmy Johnson draft value chart: Bills give up: #10: 1300 pts Chiefs give up: #27: 680 pts #91: 136 pts Next year's 1st: 330 pts* (*Based on the guesstimate that the Chiefs will have the 25th pick next year, and the somewhat accepted rule that a 1st round pick this year = a 2nd round pick next year.) If you buy all of that, we gave up 1300 pts for 1146, a loss of 154. Per the chart, that's the equivalent of losing the #87 pick of the draft. In that sense, it looks like the Chiefs got the better end of the deal. But what of this value chart? Do other teams actually go by it? Here are the rest of tonight's deals, scored according to the value chart: 1. 49ers / Bears 49ers give up #2 (2600). Bears give up #3 (2200), 67 (255), 111 (72), and next year's 3rd (80*) - (2607). The 49ers win by a whopping 7 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 2. Browns / Texans Browns give up #12 (1200). Texans give up #25 (720) and next year's 1st (330*) - (1050) Texans win by 150 points. By these metrics, they lost the #88 pick. Not a totally unexpected outcome when dealing with the Browns, and poor value according to the chart. 3. Seahawks / Falcons Seahawks give up #26 (700). Falcons give up #31 (600), #95 (120), and 249 (1) - (721). Seahawks win by 21 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 4. Packers / Browns Packers give up #29 (640). Browns give up #33 (580) and #108 (79) - (659) Packers win this trade by 19 points. A very even trade according to the value chart. 5. Seahawks / 49ers Seahawks give up #31 (600). 49ers give up #34 (560), 111 (72) - (632). Seahawks win by 32 points, the equivalent of the #138 pick. Pretty even trade according to the value chart. Here are tonight's winners & losers according to Jimmy's value chart: Chiefs: +154 Texans: +150 Seahawks: +53 Packers: +19 Bears: -7 Falcons: -21 49ers: -25 Bills: -154 Browns: -169 Good analysis -- I didn't have the chart numbers, but it seemed to me at the time of the trade the Bills came up a little short. Looks like, according to the numbers, that it true. The caveat with that is that we may have wanted to move out of the pick more than the Chiefs wanted to move into it. If that is true, then we may have had to sweeten the pot a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
