Did you ever wonder how teams decide what value to place on their draft picks & how they decide if trading it away is really worth it? Me too, until now!
I recently ran into an NFL TRADE VALUE CHART that war rooms across the NFL use to determine a draft positions numerical value & then match up the players with that position. Now if they trade away that draft position/pick then they must get a combination of draft picks or draft picks & players that equal that draft position/pick.
For instance, let’s take the Minnesota Vikings. Great team by the way! They earned the 7th pick overall in the draft for 2007. According to the chart the 7th overall pick has a value of “1,500” points. Now, if another team, like the Miami Dolphins, wanted to trade up with the Vikes they would have to offer a package equal to or greater to that assigned “1,500” point value of the 7th over all pick. The Dolphins have the #9 overall pick & that would have a value of “1,350” points. They would then have to come up with another 150 points that represents the difference between the 7th & the 9th overall picks. How they decide to do this is at the discretion of the Vikings. They could either demand one of the Dolphins picks from an upcoming round or even accept a trade of an existing player that they would agree represents or has a value equal to that 150 points.

Unfortunately, I could not show the chart directly on to this post but I do have the link so you can view it thanks to http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/features/valuechart.html. Take a look!

Very cool, do they have these for fantasy drafts. i am sure the points would be way different, but that would make much use of itself.
Hey Matt! Thanks for stopping into Cold Draft 2007!
I am not aware of such a thing for a fantasy draft. You could almost use this one, maybe? Give it a try & let me know.
Thank you Matt!
