NFL Draft trade value chart

[DolphinFan1]

In the Sporting News a few weeks back, they printed the 1st round value chart for the NFL draft that the teams use. They had a few clues about a couple picks in the second round. I filled in the rest using deductive reasoning. I might try to use it in my FOF4 league. Just for fun, here it is:

What do you think?

So how does it work? If you take any two sets of pick combinations, the set with the higher cumulative value is the "better valued" set in the system?

For example, the first pick is worth 3000 points. If I wanted to deal for the pick and the GM holding the top pick was an ardent supporter of this system, I would likely need to offer up a combination of picks that equals or exceeds 3000? Like the 5th pick and the 10th pick, for instance?

Actually, unless there is a guaranteed #1 stud available, I'm not sure I would deal two Top 10 picks for the #1 overall, especially if I was the kind of team that got at least one of those picks by being just awful on the field (as is likely).

It's a numbers game. Just add the values of the picks you trade for the ones you get. I know the 1st round is what they use in the NFL. They put it in the Sporting News. I also know that pick 54 is right. They said that Arizona traded picks 6,37 and 102 to the Saints for picks 17, 18 and 54 worth 2210 points. 17 and 18 are worth 1850 so that leaves 360 points for pick 54. They gave up 2222 points in return. So it was a close deal.

Dola, remember this is just for fun. I am going to try it in FOF4.

Looks pretty good to me and there's no way you can make it perfect. Plus, it's tough to value those top couple of picks each year. And the draft, in general, is a crapshoot- this year there were 6 big players so the top 6 would be much higher valued and you can't account for those kind of yearly changes.

Bump, for people who haven't seen this yet.

No way the AI lets you trade just the #5 and #10 picks for #1 overall. You need to offer at least 3 first round picks.
