Also, I disagree with exponentially, historical 2nd round picks are about .6x as valuable as 1st round picks.(exlcuding 1st pick and 18th pick).
Well, I guess that's why we have three people evaluating the trade. I'm not saying the AVERAGE first round pick is exponentially more valuable: it's that the difference between them is. So the difference between the #2 and #4 picks is greater than the combination of the two second rounders used in that trade by a reasonable margin.

I agree with your first statement. A team's picklist cannot be used to evaluate a trade's fairness. No team has the same picklist.
