that's just the point. the chart isn't the golden standard. to use it as a guide to be in the ballpark is one thing, but to keep referencing it and saying a projected value is wrong is not accurate. this chart predates everything the draft does now along with each pick's values.


This is the actual chart they use my man. Of course they don't stick to it exactly but its pretty close. This is the reason i predicted what we would trade the Cards last year to move up to 20 and get Cooks.

Before most teams make a trade involving picks, they consult a the value chart. This chart, which has been around for decades and has been improved upon at various junctures, assesses a numerical value for each draft position in the chart. The chart most widely used, for instance, gives a value of 3,000 to first-overall pick and goes down from there. If a team wants to trade for that pick, for most general managers to say yes to a deal, the bounty being offered needs to equate to 3,000 or better. Not every trade fits into this equation, but many do. Last year the Saints moved up from the 27th pick to 20th pick in a deal with the Arizona Cardinals to draft wide receiver Brandin Cooks. To make the move, New Orleans had to surrender the 27th and 91st picks, which came in at a total value of 816. Arizona’s pick had a value of 850, coming in at a net loss of four percent on the draft value chart.

The math is right in line with your chart. No, 13 and 31 do not equal what it would take to get to 5 on your chart, but it gets damn close. Getting to 20 last year took 850 points....they gave up 817. Its close enough.
