> The trade value chart puts the move up at 500. Your second round pick is worth 530. So, if you want to swap picks, conventional thinking is that you must give me your second round pick, and I’ll make up the 30 by giving you back a sixth round pick.

All right, I’m going to pull the trigger on this offer.

Tampa trades their 1st and 2nd round picks this year to the Vikings, in exchange for the Vikings 1st and 6th round picks this year.

This was pure kayfabe, as most of you probably knew.

Tampa Bay selects \*\*Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama \*\*with the 3rd overall pick of the 2012 draft. Tampa needs a RB, and Richardson is a good one, from a good program. Several mocks I saw had Cleveland taking him, so I made the trade to move up.
