Lets say you and I trading draft picks only ... you have the first overall. and I want it. trade bar (on my end) is dead center on me giving up my first, second. Would it not be dead center on yours as well? Because for each owner the draft value is already established?
Yes, the pick order (if it is set) changes the value of each pick. If the pick order is not set, it uses a much rougher value based on where you picked the previous year. Both teams will see the same bar in this case.

my Team is in dire need of a QB ... there is a stud in the draft .. you have the first overall. Is my offer going to now place a higher value on that #1 making me give up more to dead center the trade bar so I can get my QB?
The AI doesn't consider any subjective value like this, your team need, etc, and as such the bar should always be a
guide not the absolute
truth. You might be willing to take a lopsided trade in this situation and your trading partner may not be willing to give up a lopsided trade in this situation (if he wants the QB as well) - the bar is designed to be an objective guide to the player value (and to prevent overly lopsided trades), but you are responsible to consider the subjective value of the trade.
