And hopefully Zimmer’s last draft too

Why not trade for a 2nd rounder?
Because the jets pick 2nd in the 2nd round. That’s like practically getting another first
So take two 3rds instead?
Giants who were a couple of spots before us got
A 5th... A future 1st and a future 4th. We didn't get equitable compensation.

According to the draft calculator, we won that trade in terms of value by quite a bit actually. Jets got 1292 in value. Vikings got 1680

The 12th pick is worth 1000 more value points than 14. It’s a bigger difference in value than you think

You guys are assuming the Vikings stay at 23. Spielman could flip that pick for a couple more thirds. :wink:

Draft chart means nothing in today's NFL. It's not even used anymore by NFL teams (ask me how I know)
