Jimmy Johnson, a former NFL coach who won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys, developed a method of giving a value to each pick in the NFL draft, with higher picks having more value and lower picks having less value. Using his value chart, NFL fans and pundits can predict how impressive a team’s upcoming draft haul will be.
It’s not an exact science because there are plenty of draft busts every year but it’s an interesting exercise to gauge how the Broncos’ 2020 class could look in comparison to other teams. Tankathon.com did the math for the 2020 draft (not including pending compensatory picks) and calculated each team’s draft picks value.
Denver’s picks have a value of 2,145.0, the 14th-best total in the NFL. The Raiders (2,667.8) have the best value in the AFC West, followed by the Chargers (2,533.3), Broncos and Chiefs (1,053.4). The Dolphins (4,502.9) have the most value and the Texans (512.0) have the least.
Denver is projected to have 12 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft.
