With the 2009 draft approaching, I have been receiving allot of questions regarding how do you value picks in order to trade them? Is there an underlying system? The reality is that there are a variety of point systems each team uses in order to value picks. Bascially you have to match the point total of the pick you want with the combined point total of hte picks you are looking to trade. Picks next year are discounted around 10%, but I have shown here a basic draft pick value chart that some teams use that will give you guys a good idea what is going on.
For example, the #1 overall pick in this draft is worth 3,000 points. If you want to trade with the Lions to get that pick this year, you need to package a collection of picks that equals around 3,000 points. Hope this helps as the fund begins Saturday!
