This website allows you to enter in draft picks and determine the appropriate value based on the standard trade value chart that teams still seem to use.

I used it to find out how much it would cost the Rams to move up from 15 to 6, which the Ravens hold. We would have to give them our 1st rounder, the Eagles 2nd rounder we got in the Bradford trade, and also our 4th rounder. That's not as crazy as I thought it would be.

Question is, who do you pick at #6?

It's only February. My experience has been that by the time the draft rolls around the QBs will rise unless they they flunk the Combine interviews and Pro Days.

The Browns are taking a QB at #2. And I wouldn't be surprised if some team went crazy and traded up to #1 to take a QB. I know, that's crazy, but who thought Bortles was going #3 overall 2 years ago at this time?

One thing is for sure there will be at least one QB off the board and maybe 2 in the top 5. If Dallas passes on a QB at #4, there is still the possibility that someone trades up for one. But assuming all the teams between Cleveland and Baltimore stick and pick a non-QB, the Rams can move up and get the 2nd QB ahead of the Niners, Eagles, or any other team trying to trade up.

Right now my guess is that Goff and Wentz are the first 2 QBs to get picked, so if the Rams like the one the Browns don't take, they may move up.

Interesting rating guide. So according to the chart, wouldn't a fairly even trade up be the Rams #15 and #47 for SF's #7?

It's close. Slight edge (20 pts) to the Rams. But teams in the same division never make deals with each other.

Is that just for this year or their general formula? Is it fluid to account for year to year changes in talent?
Grading the talent creating factors for calculating trades, made easier.

That's the standard formula that has been the accepted template for the NFL for every year going back at least 20 years now.

No deviations to it to account for changes in perceived talent levels from year to year.

Just the way it is.

Of course, there are exceptions made for special cases like in 2012. The Rams got well above the formula value for the #2 pick because of the inflated value of QBs.
