# NFL Draft Pick Value Charts ## Jimmy Johnson Chart (Traditional) - **1st overall**: 3,000 points - **32nd pick**: 590 points - Value drops exponentially; roughly halves every round - Mid-1st rounder (≈16th) ≈ 1,000 points ## Rich Hill/Harvard Chart (Analytics-based) - Flatter curve than Johnson chart - Values late 1st-rounders significantly higher - Better reflects actual player performance data ## Why It Matters These charts quantify trade negotiations—GMs use them to determine fair compensation when swapping picks (e.g., a team moving from 10th to 3rd knows roughly what additional picks to surrender). The choice of chart significantly impacts trade fairness: the Johnson chart overvalues top-5 picks compared to actual player success rates, while analytics-based charts suggest teams overpay when trading up for elite prospects.
