It is now
common practice for NFL teams to follow a “draft value
chart,” which assigns numeric values to every draft pick
from No. 1 to the final pick in the seventh round, No.
262. The idea of the chart is to create a standard for
assessing fair value for trades. Each team creates their
own draft value chart based upon their assessment of the
draft and strength of the players at each position.
The chart
only works with trades involving draft picks traded for
picks. When players are involved, it changes everything.
The chart
is just a guide. If a team likes a certain player they
might be willing to give up more value points worth of
picks in order to get their man. Likewise, a team not
happy with its position might be willing to accept less
in return than the chart might suggest to move down a
few spots. Below is an example of a draft value chart.
This is not a a chart which is used by any particular
NFL team and is only an example of the what might be
used by teams in assessing a trade.
