Actually, I don't think it will affect us much - if anything it might have worked out for the best for us since let's say noone is going to bid a 1st rounder on Ben then neither do we. If anyone bids a 2nd round on him (and assuming Ben nominates us), we still have the F-S right to match that bid (even though we don't have a 2nd bid) by using points from our remaining draft picks.
If we actually had a 2nd round, we would actually be forced to use that to match - but we've already gotten the benefit of this years 2nd round pick by bringing in Hampton in last year.
OTOH, if someone does make a 1st round bid on Ben and he's actually good enough to be worthy of it, we might well be willing to do too and match it.
Ed. Wonder if this had been in Ogilvie and Co's factoring during last trade period - yet more evidence of their canniness, if so.
We more than likely won't get enough points from our remaining picks if someone bids a high second rounder for Jarman.
Here is a hypothetical lets say that Port finish 13th and we finish 5th. Now lets say Port used pick 24 as a bid for Jarman (they don't have a 2nd round pick because they have already traded it, but for arguments sake lets just say they it).
The value for Pick 24 = 785 you then take the 197 discount from it and it leaves you with 588 points which is the points that we need to pay for Jarman.
Now if we have picks 14, 32 (traded for Hampton), 50 and 68. The value for pick 50 is 273 points and the value for 68 is 58 points so those two picks are only worth a combined total of 341 which will not be enough. We might potentially have to downgrade pick 14 to get the points.
Pick 14 is worth 1161 so 1161 - 588 = 573 left over which are then added on to our next draft pick (50) to upgrade it. 573+273 = 846 which equates to pick 22.
This would mean that to get Jarman we would go from having Pick 14, 50 and 68 to having selected Bem Jarman and then having pick 22 and 68.
So depending on whether someone bids on Jarman and what is actually bid on him, trading our second round pick may not have been the smartest move.
