Exactly - but should the system assume that a player with the #1 overall pick will still have the #1 overall pick in 2 years? Right now it maps the teams into quadrants, so the best future pick value will be considered as a top-8 pick, not a #1 pick.
I hate that I have to make this objective calculation that doesn't really fit especially at the top.
My point is that if this 100/100 player is not worth a top 8 pick 2 years from now, who would ever be worth it? Or a 1.1 for that matter?
I know this is an extreme example, but there should be
somebody in the league worth the 1.1 pick, and especially a top 8 pick 2 years down the road.
The picks are way overvalued by the AI, or the players are way undervalued.
It almost seems the AI is assigning value to the
privilege of picking high, and much less to the player you would actually be able to draft.
Instead of using some pre-defined value for the picks (like the chart you use), maybe the value should be done the same way that the AI calculates the value for players? If the actual in-league players are used to determine the value of a player, maybe you can use the past 4 draft pools to determine the values for draft picks based on the value of the player you would be able to draft with that pick (compared to in-league players)?
The value of the picks would increase/decrease based on recent history of the quality of players available in the draft.
To elaborate on the above:
If a 90 potential player is assigned a value of 1000 points for trade purposes
THEN
A draft pick where you would expect to be able to draft a 90 potential player (based on previous draft pools) would be worth 1000 points also.
