Trade Down With Philly?

Saw a purported revised draft pick value chart reported/supported on PFT from a year ago, brought up again recently on the site.

As we know, the cost to move up is probably too high, especially in the top ten or so of the first round. But if this new chart were the one used to evaluate a move down with the Eagles, the compensation changes some.

15 = 1140 points

28 = 770 points
53 = 370 points

...which conveniently equals EXACTLY 1140 points, eliminating the need for any additional trade compensation. So, should this be the deal, something to keep in mind before judging the GMs.
