Default Re: Thomas Jones expected to be traded :(

I've heard different "scales" used for determening the 63/37 swap but in my totally arbitrary opinion it sounds more like 4th/5th RD value.

I think that the value chart has it about right(37->63=67th pick). Just look at some trades in recent years and you'll see that a 4th/5th round pick is not close to enough to move that far in the 2nd round.

I think the bears obtained good value for Jones. He is a solid back with a low fumble rate that makes him deceptively valuable, but RBs with 8 years of wear and tear are notoriously unreliable.
