Lets all contribute... try to form a general consensus here.
The Standard draft value chart that goes from 3000 points for 1.1 to 2 points for 7.32
is a great starting point.
I tend to think future picks should be devalued a range of 16 places to one round per year.
Farther out the penalty should be less per year, but still cumulative. In addition a predictive valuation should be used that says a team is probably going to finish within 4-8 draft spots of this year. 8 for middle of the curve, 4 for outliers.
So far pretty easy.
Players are more difficult but can be simplified with point ranges and standard deviations for position, and age.
Perhaps roughly sort them according like the draft chart?
1st 100-78
2nd 78-70
3rd 70-65
4th 65-60
5th 60-55
6th 55-50
7th 50-
Now for positional alterations I'll volunteer rough estimates from my old fof draft stuff.
QB 1.4x
RB 1.3
FB .6
TE 1.0
WR 1.3
LT 1.1
LG .8
C .7
RG .8
RT 1.0
DE 1.2
DT .9
LB 1.0
CB 1.2
SS .9
K .4
P .3
Next is age...
Very tough to put a number to, but lets assume a 2-4th year player is prime, and each year after 4 starts to degrade the value by a growing number closly resembling the % chance likely to retire, and number of years of production.
2-4 100%
5-6 90%
7-8 75%
9-10 60%
11-12 40%
13-on 25%
Does this make sense to everyone? JDB can you make a algorithm with something like this?
Does anyone think I'm way off with certain values? Any trade "point" guidelines also must include enough latitude to allow for personal differences and league variations, but I think this is a good starting point
