Cleveland Browns: Acquire pick No. 22 (select QB Brady Quinn).
Dallas Cowboys: Acquire pick No. 36 and Browns' first-round pick in 2008.
San Francisco 49ers: Acquire pick No. 28 (selected OT Joe Staley).
New England Patriots: Acquire pick No. 110 and a first-round pick
Is it just me or are these two trades a couple of the worst trades in history?
In the cleveland trade you have pick 22 in the 2007 draft traded for a top 10 pick in the 2008 draft and pick 36 in the 2007 draft. This trade makes no sense. If cleveland liked quinn so much and was willing to trade so much why not draft him at number 3?
Lets assume that cleveland has pick 10 in next years draft, here is the point difference:
22:780
10:1300
36:540
780 - (1300 + 540) = -1060
By my calculations cleveland is in the hole by over 1000 points which is equal to pick 16, and that is if they have pick 10.
In the 49ers trade you have pick 28 in the 2007 draft traded for a pick between 10 and 15 in the 2008 draft and pick 110 in the 2007 draft.
Lets assume the 49ers have pick 15 in next years draft, here is the point difference:
28: 660
15: 1050
110: 74
660 - (1050 + 74) = -464
464 is equal to pick 43, personally i think the number will be higher because the 49ers suck but am trying to be conservative.
By my calculations these two trades are terrible. While Quinn and Staley may turn out to be good players these two teams were trading up even though this years draft was no where near as deep or talented as last years draft. Please nobody else say either cleveland or 49ers had a good draft.
