So 1st of, the OP is updated       I wanted to go through draft day trades and evaluate them vs the trade vue charts.       Vikings-Jets deal: Vikings send 11, 129 (4th round), 157 (5th round)  Jets for 10, 203 (6th round)   10 - 1300 203 - 10.2   1310.2pts   11 - 1250 129 - 43 157 - 28.6   1321.6pts   Jets actually took a 6th round loss on the drop down.     Vikings-Jaguars deal: Vikings get: 2024 1st-round pick (No. 17)(950)   950pts   Jaguars get: 2024 1st-round pick (No. 23)(760) 2024 5th-round pick (No. 167)(24.6) 2025 3rd-round pick(116) 2025 4th-round pick(24.6)   925.2pts   Vikings got additional 5th round value for moving down.   So Vikings in these 2 trade downs won both trades by additional 5th + 6th       Cowboys-Lions deal: Cowboys rec:# 29 +73  Lions rec: #24 and a 2025 seventh-round pick.   24 - (740) 2025 7th - (1)   741pts   29 - (640) 73 - (225)   865pts     Cowboys gained 124pts, a late 3rd, in trade down(#94 pick value)     Bills-Panthers deal: Panthers rec: #32, #200 Bills rec: #33, #141   32 - 590 200 - 11.4   601.4pts   33 - 580 141 - 35.5   615.5pts     Difference of a 6th round pick.         So on this small sample size, I would say these trades were pretty close to the charts.   Outlier is Cowboys trade with a big gap. Links must of really wanted their guy, I'm sure there was competition to get to that spot, so an overpay makes some sense.

I'll be surprised if we see that again anytime soon. What's really going be interesting is if any are franchise worthy in a few years.
