Wouldn’t be speaking so soon, we now know Cloak and Dagger has to be before Luke Cage s2 based on the O’Reilly mention. The Feb-March 2017 is not by self-thought, it’s the only date that makes most sense. I think pretty much all of us always thought that Cloak and Dagger: Season 1 was before Luke Cage: Season 2, the only time I saw people think otherwise was over on the Comic Board.

The timeline itself is purely based on my own thoughts on the matter, but the dates themselves are derived from various sources within the episodes.

The main point of uncertainty is regarding when the oil tanker explosion happened. Our current estimation puts it sometime in either late 2008 or early-to-mid 2009. I myself prefer 2009, since it works better with all of the "8 years ago" references made throughout the season.

It doesn't help that the only date of birth we saw for Billy outside of a vision is a newspaper that stated that it was "August 1, 1990", which doesn't work for April 2007, since he would have been too young, but also work after August 2008, since he would have been too old.

At one point, Tandy looks over a schematic of the oil rig with a revision date of September 10, 2008, which suggests that the explosion happened sometime after that.

If Cloak and Daggers date gets revised, it will still end up as early 2017 Probably, and that's what I prefer. However, the possibility of early 2016 is not completely impossible, although it's at least becoming less likely.
