NFL Draft 2026: Eagles' Trade Value Chart Strategy

0:00On April 20th, the 2026 NFL draft kicks off in just hours, and every team is armed with trade-value charts pioneered by Jimmy Johnson and Gil Brandt back in the Cowboys dynasty days. These charts slap point values on every pick, making it dead simple to swap draft assets without guessing games. The Eagles sit 18th and told our draft capital league wide, and 3rd in the NFC East, giving them solid ammo for moves. Game cooked up the original system in the early 90s, while building those Super Bowl squads, assigning 3,000 points to the top pick, and scaling down from there. Gil Brandt fine-tuned it, and now is the Dallas draft picks value chart that every front office lives by for a quick trade math. League execs swear by this tool because it levels the playing field turns, complex negotiations, and to straight point swaps, whether you're climbing for, a star, or stocking up on depth. No more arguing over fair value, the numbers do the talking, and it's been a game-changer since the 90s.

1:01For Philly, that means 9 picks, starting with 23rd overall, round 2 a 54, 3rd at 68, and so on through the 7th. On Johnson's classic chart, they tally about 1621 points, Rich Hill's updated version, which factors in comp picks, bumps it to a round, 1644, plenty to wheel and deal. As draft weekend heats up, watch how these charts spark the fireworks. Eagles can flip that capital into a roster reset, or hold steady for the long.
