Here’s kind of a recap on day three trades. It’s really interesting. It gives you a sense of why they like seventh rounders and use them strategically.
They started the day with three fourth rounders and four seventh rounders. They used the first two fourth rounders. Then they used one of the seventh rounders to bridge the difference in turning the last fourth into two fifths. Then they used two more sevenths to move the fifth rounders up a couple of spots to get their guys.
Netting it all out they essentially gave up three seventh round picks to turn a fourth into two fifths and then to improve both of the fifth rounders into better picks.
Put more simply, they used three seventh rounders (total value of 3 points) to turn a late fourth round pick (no. 134, 38.5 points) into two slightly less valuable players (no. 159, 27.4 points, no.163, 25.8 points).
