I keep reading about how teams in the draft's top five, like Miami, want to trade down in the draft because it costs so much and can cripple teams financially by having to pay so much for one player. Jerry Jones was recently quoted saying so here (Why Jerry Jones Wont Draft Darren McFadden - The Fifth Down - Sports - Pro Football - New York Times Blog).
My question is, is the Draft Value Chart a guideline the NFL uses to decide whether to approve a draft-day trade? Would the Dolphins be able to sweeten an offer to a team in order to get a trade done, or are they bound by the Value Chart and really have no negotiating power?
