Cost to move up to #10 ?

That chart uses Jimmy Johnson's old values which puts a high premium on early picks and a low value on later ones
First pick is worth 3000, last pick is worth 0.4
The Harvard Sports Analysis Collective did an analysis and came up with their own chart values

But as an old auctioneer from Boring Md once told me, you want to know the real value? Put it in an auction, what it sells for is what it is worth. Picks are worth what you can get for them .... someone wants somebody bad enough they pay.

I don't see it happening, no matter the cost. Ozzie covets picks. If I were a betting man I would wager he trades back rather than stand pat or trade up, especially since this is supposedly a deep draft. I for one would rather he trade up and grab a game changer for once. We haven't drafted a player who keeps other coordinators up at night since Rice in '08.

Not sure if this is appropriate. I typed my sister-in-law in as pick #1, with a trade down, and came up with "0.00" every time. That's not fair... Bc

The mantra - "Ozzie covets picks!" Too bad he's not better at selecting players. Look at the track record - Ozzie is not the wizard that people maintain he is. He is no better or no worse than most of the other GMs in the league - except for maybe the Browns and a couple of other bottom dwellers.

At last - someone who understands reality and the Ravens. The 17th pick and Ray Rice for Evans would be a steal.

Yes...I would trade Ray Rice and our 1st to move up in a heartbeat ;)

I think the Jimmy Johnson chart is a bit obsolete, which is why the trade values have seemed less balanced more often in the recent years than the past. In general, I think the curve is thought to be a bit flatter now, with the 2nd and 3rd round picks gaining a bit more value while the top end of the first round losing a bit of value from Johnson's chart. I don't see much evidence there has been a gain of perceived value for the later round picks.

But the Harvard analysis is still worse (than Johnson's chart), imo.

For one thing it is entirely predicated on PFR's wildly subjective CAV numbers (for non-skill positions the 'numbers' are nearly worthless, imo).

But most importantly, it does not in any way address the fact that the ultimate goal of NFL GMs is to maximize the utility of the limited group of players that see the field not maximize some metric of combined CAV's. Raising the quality of a benchwarmer by some amount while reducing the quality of your starter by a lesser amount can easily be a net loss to your team's performance, even if it is a net gain to aggregate team CAV. Likewise, trading the #1 overall pick for all 32 seventh round picks looks great according to the Harvard chart, but in reality is a terrible move.

Anyway, as Rxdoxx said, the 'value' of each pick is what someone will 'pay' for it. And it will vary depending on the circumstance.

Too high of a cost. Stay where you are and trust your scouting process.

I assume you're in on this as a joke, right? I didn't see a smiley-face.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree! Woe are us Ravens fans who only have TWO Super Bowl Championships in 18 years. Why can't we have at least 10 like ???????????????????? ... Bc

I saw the Smiley Face and I WOULD trade the #1 and Rice for Evans in a heartbeat.

The Ravens went off the deep end on Rice - giving him the contract they gave him. Rice's best days are behind him. The Ravens were lucky to get 6 years out of Rice (and that's if you consider last year's production anything but a joke).

You can't trade Rice without huge cap implications.
