It’s pretty common to see sixth and seventh round draft picks be involved in trades. We joke about these picks a lot, assuming they are throwaway picks just used as trade ammunition to move around in the draft. For example, last year we saw the San Francisco 49ers trade their seventh round pick in a deal to move up for C.J. Beathard in the third round.
Don’t get me wrong, we can get overly excited for these picks (as we are all hoping for the biggest draft steal since Tom Brady), just as we have the tendency to do for undrafted free agents.
