I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or not, but I started thinking of something and decided to try it out. For those of you that haven't seen it, the pick value calculator can be found here
So, I decided to put in all the picks I could for a specific draft spot and then for another and compare. The obvious ones to start with were the 1 spot vs. the 12 spot. I came up with an interesting result. I haven't gone further with this yet but will when I get a bit more time but thought I would post these preliminary results to see if anyone wants to chime in with any insight on this before I go on.
When putting in 16 rounds of picks from the 1 spot (#1 overall, #24, #25, #48, #49, etc.) I get a total value of 6475.
When putting in 16 rounds of picks from the 12 spot (#12 overall, #13, #36, #37, etc), I get a total value of 6100.
That's a difference of 375 or roughly 5%. Now, I know it may not seem like a huge difference, but it seems significant enough to me if that pick calculator is fairly accurate that the difference in drafting spots could make a difference.
I plan on putting in the picks for a few other draft spots and comparing (i.e., more draft spots in a 12 team league and some in a 14 team league as well) to see if I get similar results. Just curious if this is just a discrepancy in the calculator itself or if there is truly a difference in drafting spot.
