Is there a Fantasy Equivalent To Trade Value Chart? (1 Viewer)

The calculators are nice, but I prefer to break trades down into dollar value.
Of course this depends on league structure...but consider a contract dynasty league with an annual cash allocation to be spent on FAs during the season and for RFA bidding in the offseason.
In my system I assign the 1.01 pick a year's cash allocation. That's a big assumption, saying that someone would give up a year's cash worth for the #pick, but you have to start somewhere, and to me the better question is: How much cash would it take for me to give up this pick.
I try to determine that amount at intervals throughout the draft. Then I graph the progression.
When I consider a trade I refer to the graph for dollar values of what's being offered versus what's being asked for. Then if someone is trying to make a cash + picks for picks deal I have a reference that fits. If someone wants to include a player, I have to consider what the player is worth under the yearly economic conditions of the league.
It's an inexact science, but I am not sure there's some what to make it exact.
