I'm not challenging the paper. But your trades aren't the same as the ones in the paper. It argues against what you are saying... you probably didn't even read it. You are delusional.
The trades are EXACTLY what's set out in the paper, slanted towards the other team in both instances.
Ottawa's 4th = pick #96 Ottawa's 7th = pick #189*
NYI's 4th = pick #113*
Pick #96 (4th) plus pick #189 (7th) = 68 + 38 = 106 for pick #67 (3rd) = 95
Pick #67 (3rd) plus pick #113 (4th) = 95 + 57 = 152 for pick #38 (2nd) = 150
I'm just as suspicious as you about the value of the lower-range picks, so I allowed for a 10% variance there.
*Mind you, neither of these picks are in the teams' possession, but this was the parlay I was talking about. We would happily take a 2020 fourth and 2020 seventh and bootstrap that with a 2020 fourth and (according to the paper) arrive with a high second-round pick. Whether anyone would accommodate us is, of course, a different question.
P.S. {edit} Hilariously, the reason why I thought NY doesn't have a 2020 fourth is because it's the subject of this discussion and I was just looking up at this screen!
