Betcha didn't know that...

Most teams use Value Charts, but there's no one universal chart - they tend to vary slightly. For example, I noticed that a pick in Round 7 was worth 14.6 on one chart and 13½ on another.

Speaking of draft charts and mocks where is your annual all name draft?

Thanks for reminding me. (I didn't think anyone even read it).

Things will be agonizingly slow during the final countdown to draft day (which, incidently, was moved one week further back this year). So I'll spend some time on it pretty soon.

Did Someone say "Name Draft"?

Here's how we see it.

You don't see Bunkley in the 1st round?

Same chart, different site...

I've found the chart to be very accurate when teams trade picks straight up. The "buyer" usually have paid a little more that the chart dictates, but in general it's very accurate.

Here's some of my fave names in the draft:

Sir Henry Anderson DT
Sounds like he should have played for the old London Monarchs in the European league.


Damarius Bilbo WR
Rather short as a WR (obscure hobbit joke).


Elvis Dumervil DE
I think I once lived in that town.


D'Brickashaw Ferguson OT
Parents once took a rickshaw ride in Japan.



Chijioke Oyenegegecha CB
The jioke is on the equipment manager who tries to put his name on the back of his jersey.


Frostee Rucker DE
Would play well in the snow in Green Bay or New England.



Johnny Jolly DT
Wan't he on Comic Central live?

Last night Kiper said there was a big drop off after pick #8. He does have Young in the top 8. He said the best value is going to come when the three top RB's are drafted probably in the low 1st round. He said all three will help who ever drafts them. I can see it already Pittsburg replaces the Bus with White and White is the new and younger Bus.

I agree there's a drop off after 8, but not a big one. I think the 9 and 10 spots are another level with Justice and Bunkley, then it drops to another level of 11 through 15 with Cutler, Greenway, J. Williams, Ngata and Sims, then 16 thru 32.

Questioning the Validity of One Stadard Value Chart

Harry Green has an interesting take on this on a separate thread.

Essentially, that - because the pool of draft prospects varies (a) in depth, (b) in overall talent, (c) in talent at the top of the draft board and (d) by position, the value of a high pick in relationship to the value of a bundle of later picks will vary from year to year.

Therefore, the value number assigned each slot should be adjusted from year to year.

Thus the trade of Spot #1 for, say Spots #7, #10 and #40 might be dead-on (at 3000 pts) in Year A; but in Year B, the value of Spot #1 might be worth more and the value of spots #7, #10 and #40 might be worth more, the same or less - so that the trade value would no longer be dead-on.

My guess is that each team has its own variation of the Value Chart, and that some might adjust the numbers from year to year. If two potential trading partners have arrived at basically the same conclusion about the numbers, they'll make a trade. If they don't agree, the deal probably won't get done.

I once ran the rickshaw at a Chinese restaurant in Scottsdale as a teenager. Most. Humiliating. Job. Ever.
