NFL team draft capital: what is the true value of each squad’s 2016 picks?

More than 20 years ago Jimmy Johnson derived a “value chart” to help his Cowboys determine the worthiness of draft pick exchanges.

The chart is applicable today, and with the draft kicking off Thursday night, a lot has changed atop the list of teams with the most NFL draft capital.

Obviously the top picks carry the highest yield, with the No. 1 pick worth 3,000, No. 2 worth 2,600 No. 3 worth 2,200 and so on. Picks in the seventh and final round are all worth less than 3, with the final half of picks worth a single point.

The value of a team’s haul does not necessarily correlate with their first round position or number of picks.

Here’s a look at how each NFL team stands:

Los Angeles Rams: 3,177.2 (5 picks)

San Diego Chargers: 3,156.6 (8 picks)

Tennessee Titans: 3,081.9 (9 picks)

Philadelphia Eagles: 2,868.5 (7 picks)

Cleveland Browns: 2,802.6 (12 picks)

Dallas Cowboys 2,779.9 (9 picks)

JacksonvilleJaguars:2,617 (8 picks)

Baltimore Ravens: 2,612.1 (9 picks)

San Francisco 49ers:2,532.3 (12 picks)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2,219.8 (7 picks)
