Most all of you have heard about the Draft Matrix. This places a relative value on every pick of the draft for use in trades. I heard that it was started w/ Jimmy Johnson in Dallas, but it might have started earlier, and become popular under his regime. Regardless, every team uses some form of this matrix and I hear that they are relatively similar. For discussion purposes hear is the one from Gil Brandt

I thought that you would all have an interest in what it would cost to actually move up, using the 1st round as my example. You will notice that I limited my picks to trade to 3. Firstly, otherwise I could be working on this all day. Secondly, picks in rounds 6 & 7 have so very little value when talking about 1st round picks that they are just levelers (throw ins to make a closer balance). Remember, our picks 205 & 206 are compensation picks awarded by the NFL and can’t be traded.
#21= 800
#52= 380
#75= 215
#86= 160
#106= 82
#136= 38
#191= 15
#229= 1
Be like Mike (Ditka) Trade: total value of our tradable picks =1749 which falls halfway between picks 4 &5 in the draft.
For pick 8: Cost= 21 +52+75
For pick 9: Cost= 21 + 52 + 86
For pick 11: Cost=21 + 52 + 106
For pick 11: Cost=21 + 52 + 118
For pick 12/13: Cost= 21 + 52
For pick 12/13: Cost = 21 + 75 + 86
For pick 14: Cost = 21+75 + 106
For pick 14/15: Cost= 21 + 75 + 118
For pick 15: Cost = 21 + 75 + 136
For pick 16: Cost = 21 + 75
For Pick 17: Cost = 21 + 86
For pick 18/19: Cost = 21 + 106
For pick 20: Cost = 21 + 118 (though this is a rare trade)
Anyway, I hope this helps…
