The three fourth rounders we have likely end up being valued at around 400 points altogether, so a pick in the late 30s-early 40s to a side just looking for points. Now if you add this to other assets it allows some nice upgrades to occur - for example, if our second rounder next year ends up around 32, it would be beneficial for a team looking for points to give us a pick around 19-20 for these four picks. All of a sudden we've got a really nice pick without giving up much. It's a hypothetical example, but it's entirely feasible assuming the right strings are pulled and the right calls made.
Gone are the days where stockpiling fourth rounders is useless. These can be significant assets for teams with academy selections now given the DVI.

We may need these picks next year, with a likely 4 retirements and a couple of others leaving.
