We sent our 1st (32), 3rd (96), and 4th (12 to the Giants for their 1st (25) in order to take Santonio Holmes. The Giants got DE Matthias Kiwanuka, LB Gerris Wilkinson, and OT Guy Whimper. I was happy with who they got at the time, but unhappy with the price that we had to pay to do business (we gave 750 points on the draft trade value chart for a pick worth 720 points...in order for the points to work out evenly, we should have give our 1st, 3rd, and 6th for the Giants' first, or else gotten the Giants' 1st and 5th for our 1st, 3rd, and 4th, but sometimes the team that wants to trade up has to pay a little bit more, and this was not outrageous). However, 3 years later, now that Santonio has a Super Bowl MVP, I would say that it was certainly worth it.
This year, since we should get an untradeable comp pick at the end of the 3rd round for Faneca, plus have an extra pick in the middle of the 7th round for Mahan, we will likely have 9 picks. The stars may be aligning for another trade-up scenario to go get the guy we want.
Here are some possibilities according to the values ascribed to our picks in the draft trade value chart:
Our 1st (32), 2nd (64), and 3rd (96) round picks add up to 976 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of San Diego's 16th pick (1000 pts.) or the Jets' 17th pick (950 pts.).
Our 1st (32), 2nd (64), and 4th (12 round picks add up to 904 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of Chicago's 18th pick (900 pts.).
Our 1st (32) and 2nd (64) round picks add up to 860 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of Tampa's 19th pick (875 pts.) or Detroit's 20th pick (850 pts.).
Our 1st (32), 3rd (96), and 4th (12 round picks add up to 750 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of New England's 23rd pick (760 pts.) or Atlanta's 24th pick (740 pts.).
Our 1st (32) and 3rd (96) round picks add up to 706 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of Miami's 25th pick (720 pts.) or Baltimore's 26th pick (700 pts.).
Our 1st (32) and 4th (12 round picks add up to 634 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of the Giants' 29th pick (640 pts.) or Tennessee's 30th pick (620 pts.) .
Our 2nd (64) and 3rd (96) round picks add up to 386 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of Dallas' 51st pick (390 pts.) or the Jets' 52nd pick (380 pts.).
Our 2nd (64) and 4th (12 round picks add up to 314 points, which would get you in the neighborhood of New England's 58th pick (320 pts.) or Carolina's 59th pick (310 pts.).
