[QUOTE=Ralphy Boy;6664847]We gain 6 picks, what more do you want?

We could get Clevelands #72 pick (230 pts), but we'd have to give up pick #145 (33.5 pts).

I should have prefaced this by saying that I don't think the picks they would have to give up would prevent them from making the trade. If Cleveland doesn't want to give up the 3rd rounder, but the point total is there, why not make the trade?

Seriously though, if you are Pioli and you know that Williams is the guy you want, why take him higher than you need to if you can trade down and still get him? Forget the picks for a minute and just think about it. Why pay him more than you need to.

Now with the picks, if you want to trade down and Cleveland doesn't want to give up their 3rd rounder, why wouldn't you just take what you can get if the points even out?[/QUOTE]

You can add up a bunch of "points" for 5th-7th rounders but how how many of those are going to actually make the team?

This year especially, because of the talent coming out and all the holes on this team that we need fill help to play asap we need quality guys in the 1st and 2nd rounds, imo.
