Pick Value Calculator (1 Viewer)

[Mr.Blonde]

When using the Pick Value Calculator, what do these numbers mean?

I understand they have meaning relative to each other (as in % of advantage gained/lost) but do they have a basis outside of that, like average points scored by that draft pick over last 5 years, etc.

Thanks in advance,

It's based on average production (points) from that draft slot in a perfect world (if we drafted perfectly).

The formulas it's based on start to fall apart after about pick 110, although it states it's good to 170 or so. After about pick 150, it starts to act in a negative way (pick 190, for example is worth LESS then 180 in the calculator)

Don't use it for any pick after about 130 or so, and it is a nice tool for your FF toolbox.

I used it last year to evaluate a pre-draft trade and did the deal after the calculator said I gained an advantage.

In my gut I felt it was a deal, but it was good to see my intuition confirmed by a solid metric.
