Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2533464, member: 56"] A little more nuanced than that. That potential 3rd rounder is at the end of the round, so it's more like the 1st pick of the fourth round (approx #108). At the time of the trade, San Fran was one 1-10, so you're thinking a top 5 pick*. That would effectively get you a pick at the start of the 2nd round. That's a two round difference. Pick 35 or so vs Pick 108. Which is huge. That's leaving aside the fact that the comp pick is a year later, which drops it's value even further. Additionally, the vagaries of the compensatory formula comes into play, depending on who leaves the team, and who signs with the team. eg You could potentially lose out on a pick at the back end. Hard to say how it would all shake out. [I]*San Fran went on a run so the pick got worse in value[/I] [/QUOTE]
