2026 Team Value Grades
Since 2001 these grades measure whether each team got proper value for their picks on draft day as measured using our Value Board. It is not intended to be a projection of the player’s success in the NFL. The value scores are calculated for each pick by taking the pick number minus the rank of the player selected as he appears on our final draft value board. Both the pick and the rank values are weighted. Players that are drafted and not ranked on our top 200 Value Board are given the value of the 201st pick. Picks from 201 through the end of the draft are given the same value. Therefore no pick after pick 200 can lose value.
