This chart is pretty straightforward, though I would like to note that it is in NO WAY an 'official' chart in use by the NFL. This chart does, however, make a good starting off point for evaluating pick-for-pick trade values. I do believe that NFL teams are moving away from this model of pick valuation, especially in the last year, as this model has historically rated mid-round picks far less valuable than the contributions gained from individuals chosen at those spots, though it is closer to being accurate when the production from those spots is averaged. Until the NFL teams start talking about newer ways of ranking draft slots, however, this chart will serve us well.
On Feb. 9th, Broncoman found this link to a 52 page study which dissects this type of point-value trade chart (originally created as a type of demon spawn from Jerry Jones). It is called the Thaler and Massey study.
