I don't use the system he proposed. I am evaluating the trade based on the value returned through an independent system. As you know, the value of picks (theoretically) increases exponentially as you go up. While by definition, UT benefits from a position advantage, I don't feel that trade represents approximate fair value in the return. This does not mean that a first rounder is required to move up in the first round, but it does mean that if you don't, you have to make up for it with appropriate second/third round selections.
