Trades are a major part of the NFL draft each year as teams move up and down the board to either target a specific prospect or pick up additional picks later on. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the most frequent traders during the draft, which is why it’s far from certain that they’ll keep all 11 picks they currently hold.
One way teams determine how far up they can trade or how far down they want to move is by utilizing the trade value chart. Though teams use their own scale for the value of each pick, Rich Hill’s model is widely utilized by analysts and media members.
