Draft Point Chart

[a_minimalist]

I think it's safe to say it was just thrown out of the window. Teams will take what is offered if they really want to move down for more picks. It all comes down to what is offered and not to mention building a business relationship with teams for future draft picks. It seems to be much more about business and less about following some predetermined point chart. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it seems right now based on some of the trades.

It's more fluid now for sure.
You'd be surprised how much those charts were used yesterday as a starting point only.
I know the Dallas trade came within about 3% of that chart. 97% is pretty accurate.

Or randomly select another one....

how about Minny's 29th for the Ravens 35th and 98th. Value is 640 vs 658...again about 97% accurate.

or how about Broncos 31 and 126 for Cucs 36 and 101. Value is 646 vs 636 or 98.5% accurate

I think everyone has a little different variation that they use; but most are pretty close to the same thing. BUT no one is a slave to one.

That sums it up.

The accuracy is shocking but if someone wants out of a spot they'd take less and vice-versa. No chart slaves as you say.

I was wondering about this, because when it was first invented by Jimmy, rookie contracts weren't as high as they were a few years ago. So I think the rookie contract cap gets the chart to actually be more relevant.

You guys said it much better than I did. :bow: :bow: I guess I'm wrong.

The new labor deal is a game changer. Teams more willing to move up now without being a slave to that huge contract.
