Yes, u r reading ...Just saw this many months later. Yes, u r reading it correctly. the draft value board is rather heavily weighted toward those highest of high #1 picks, which is imo poor, but consider that when Accorsi moved up from 4 to 1, he gave up even more than that difference! So some years when they covet something near the top, get out of the way because they'll pay. Back to your question, this is precisely what the Eagles have been doing, namely trading out of Round 1 to Round 2, which I believe is the correct thing to do. The Giants championships were built on loads of Round 2 success stories. Round 1 all sizzle, Round 2 all steak.

It simply is not equitable. Ask Accorsi if he would have done THAT trade?!!Andy F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07020742034297033233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-32267812589171699572008-03-20T08:21:00.000-04:002008-03-20T08:21:00.000-04:00how come you didn't notice this when the giants go...how come you didn't notice this when the giants got the 4th pick 03' draft.
