The 2026 NFL draft is just hours away, and thanks to Jimmy Johnson, Gil Brandt, and Rich Hill, even the most inexperienced general manager can manage most draft-day trades. Every team in the NFL has a trade value chart based on the one devised by the former Cowboys head coach and enhanced by Hill.
The details of any trade can be found in the value of the moves, as shown on the NFL’s trade value chart.

What is the ‘trade value chart?
Back when he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and building a dynasty, Jimmy Johnson developed a value chart that assigned every draft pick a specific point value. This made it easier for him and front-office types to compare the relative value of draft picks in different rounds. A system formulated by personnel guru Gil Brandt and the former Cowboys head coach in the 1990s, the chart helps measure the value of draft assets and helps negotiate trades. Known as the “Dallas Draft Picks Value Chart,” executives across the league swear by Johnson’s grading system for picks and consult it before making final decisions on trade proposals or offers.

2026 draft value based on Jimmy Johnson Trade Chart
Jimmy Johnson created the original NFL Draft value chart during his time with the Cowboys in the early 1990s. With the guidance of Gil Brandt, the Cowboys assigned numerical values to each draft pick to evaluate their worth for potential trades. The draft value trade chart was created by assigning the highest value to the first pick, which was 3,000 points. After that, each pick lost value, and at its core, Dallas enjoyed a competitive advantage until the rest of the NFL caught on. In case you’re unfamiliar with the old-school Jimmy Johnson trade chart, here’s how the Eagles value charts out courtesy of Pro Football Reference.
