Hard to put a value on them when you don't know what they will be, until after the season is played.That chart says that if Miami wanted to move up from 18 to 13 to grab an OT they would have to give SF their 3rd round pick.
That seems about right to me.
Has anyone seen a chart that puts values on Future picks?
I would be curious to see what #26 would be worth in a trade down in that scenario.
While I disagree with this valuation in today's NFL, it is still a good resource. Thanks for posting this. For instance, the last pick in the 1st round (#32 overall) is worth 590 points on this chart, whereas the first pick in the 2nd round (#33 overall) is worth 580, which is a simple progression ignoring the most important parts of those picks. Every 1st round pick has a 5th year at the team's option, which is HUGE if you are drafting a value position like QB, LT, EDGE, CB and is the sole reason you see teams trading up into the back end of the 1st round to get a pick ... and it's almost always to get one of those positions unless there's a real falling star that teams realize other team will realize shouldn't be falling. That #32 picks is a LOT more valuable than the #33 pick. But, there is also less money available to 2nd rounders. But since they are still projected to be starters by year 2, they're great values. Still, that comes nowhere near the value of that extra option year for a team, especially at that point in the draft when lots of these guys are high potential but need a couple of years of seasoning. That option year is a huge bargain once those types start to become good.
But wouldn't it be more VALUABLE to keep those 2 picks in the first, trade up higher in the with picks from other rounds, use the first round picks to get 3 players, because we would end up with 3 players with the extra year option rather than 2 players?Whats interesting is that Phins can take BPA at #5 and then package # 18 and #26 to move back into the top 10. This can result in 2 top 10 picks.
That would depend on how badly a team wanted a specific, top 10 player.But wouldn't it be more VALUABLE to keep those 2 picks in the first, trade up higher in the with picks from other rounds, use the first round picks to get 3 players, because we would end up with 3 players with the extra year option rather than 2 players?
