Wondering what it might take for the Cleveland Browns to trade up, or down, from the No. 10 pick in this month’s draft? Trying to make hypothetical deals work out from a value standpoint? The 2020 NFL Draft trade value chart and full draft order is here to help!
Each pick is assigned a value based on the slot. It’s based on the old chart created by then-Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson to provide a value for what a team should expect in return for a trade for any specific draft slot.
It’s become more of a guideline than a steadfast rule, but the concept of determining equity for draft trades remains pretty close to these values.
The Browns No. 10 pick is worth 1,300 points. Let’s say the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want to trade up from No. 14. That spot is worth 1,100. The Bucs’ second-round pick is worth 450, their third-rounder is valued at 210, and the 4th is at 60.
Trading No. 14, their 3rd and 4th-round picks would probably get it done (again, hypothetically) even though the values aren’t exact. If the Browns held firm for the 2nd-round pick, then Cleveland would have to send back a third of its own to make it more equitable.
