Redskins' Allen Sees Draft As Chance To Improve
Anytime a first round pick is traded, Jimmy Johnson’s famous point value chart is cited to determine if each team got fair value.
Allen and Shanahan don’t subscribe to that philosophy.
“It really is a deterrent to trading,” Allen said. “If you analyze [the chart], it takes so many draft choices to move up just a few slots. That’s prevented a lot of people from making more moves on draft day.” |
Of what I've seen of the draft chart it really seems dated & backwards in relation to the cap. The Patriots try to move back every year to draft more in the 2nd & 3rd rounds. These picks aren't high value on the chart compared to top 10 picks, but they don't cost so much. It seems every team has figured out that trading into the top 10 is rarely worth it due to the salary & the cost in picks to move up.
If anything, the chart should weigh the economic impact of the top picks, thus reducing their point totals. As it is now, most teams operate counter intuitively to the chart.
