Infact I think most of the other ones would have been wins with players like Kessler, and Karalsson coming out of the late first round.

Well the idea is that you'd be trusting your scouting staff to make the correct calls, and in those old drafts i just took the players selected at the current drafting positions, to give a comparative reference point for the trade. But when you look at the players still on the board at 12th, 15th, and 23rd there's a potential to win the trade BIG in every one of those drafts.
take 2008 based on available players and hindsight is 20/20 i know
