Wish they could have at least gotten a 7th rounder out of it- to make 2 additional picksNorthDallas40oz":1vqeklk9 said:Based on the trade value chart (which, granted, isn't the letter of the law) it wasn't nearly as good of a trade as it could/should have been for the Hawks. The Hawks should have also gotten the Vikes' 6th round pick to make the points match up. If the Vikes simply refused to part with any more picks (likely the case since they're not over-loaded with picks a la SF or JAX), the Hawks should have at least gotten them to trade places with us in the 5th round (their early 5 for our late 5) for added value. It was a good trade, not a great one.

deep draft + don't forget that he salary and cap hit of a 1st around player is higher than later rounds. We weren't negotiating from a position of power in this case
