RGIII a future Texan?

[nunusguy]

I guess this trade blew away all of those Draft-Value charts out there for the value of Draft picks used when calculating consideration in an exchange of
picks ?
BTW, anybody know how they calculate the present value of Draft picks from future years since there's gotta be a discounting factor used, right ?

I believe for future picks you drop them a round per year, so the Redskins' 2013 first rounder would be worth the same as the sixth pick in the second round on the value chart.

So then that would make their 2014 first round pick only worth a 3rd rounder in 2012 terms ? That's quite a deep discount.

That's the way I see it too.

Remember the risk for the Rams is that the Skins get good and their picks are late in the round, thus present value is a severe discount.

The Redskins have traded up with the Rams for the second pick in the Draft. Likely to be where RGIII goes.
