Everybody wants to know what a pick is worth. Fewer people know what it buys. Here are the prices, the players who sit next to each price, and the pick-for-player deals that land inside the calculator's fair range. Values as of Oct 21, 2026.
Values use a 0 to 10,000 scale. Players are priced on it the same way, so a pick and a player are directly comparable. Superflex has its own set of values, and every pick is higher there.
The price list
| Pick | 1QB value | Superflex value | Superflex gap | Nearest player, 1QB | Nearest player, superflex |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 Early 1st | 4,127 | 4,581 | +11% | Tee Higgins (WR, 4,211) | Kyren Williams (RB, 4,523) |
| 2027 Mid 1st | 1,864 | 2,126 | +14% | C.J. Stroud (QB, 1,880) | Tucker Kraft (TE, 2,118) |
| 2027 Late 1st | 871 | 1,037 | +19% | Devaughn Vele (WR, 894) | Germie Bernard (WR, 1,082) |
| 2028 1st | 1,508 | 1,729 | +15% | KC Concepcion (WR, 1,550) | Colston Loveland (TE, 1,743) |
| 2027 Early 2nd | 429 | 531 | +24% | Jake Ferguson (TE, 423) | Malik Washington (WR, 534) |
| 2027 Mid 2nd | 222 | 286 | +29% | Darius Cooper (WR, 219) | Chris Bell (WR, 287) |
| 2027 Late 2nd | 121 | 161 | +33% | Brian Robinson (RB, 122) | Tyler Allgeier (RB, 163) |
| 2028 2nd | 181 | 232 | +28% | Cody White (WR, 182) | Ja'Kobi Lane (WR, 228) |
The slot matters more than the year. An early 2027 1st is 4,127. A mid 1st is 1,864. A late 1st is 871. The early pick is worth 2.2 times the mid and 4.7 times the late. If a league-mate says "a first is a first," ask which one.
Where they sit among players. In 1QB, the early 1st would rank 36 by value, ahead of all but 35 players. The mid 1st would rank 83. The late 1st lands at 120. That is a long way down for a pick that sounds like a first-round prize.
A pick with no slot. Some leagues just list "2027 1st". It is priced at 1,885 in 1QB, which is a mid pick. Treat an unspecified 1st as a mid and you will not be far off.
The 2028 1st. At 1,508 it is worth 81% of a 2027 mid 1st and 1.7 times a late 1st. It also sits above a 2027 late 1st.
Second-rounders are small. An early 2nd is 429. A mid 1st is 4.3 times that. A 2028 2nd is 181 and a late 2nd is 121. Think of a 2nd as a throw-in, not a trade chip.
Superflex pays more for everything
Every pick in the table is higher in superflex. The smallest bump among the 1sts is the early 2027 1st at +11%. The biggest is the late 1st at +19%. The largest in the table is the late 2nd, +33%. In superflex the early 1st (4,581) would rank 37. The mid 1st (2,126) ranks 74. Compare your league's format before you quote a price from memory.
Pick-for-player deals the calculator calls fair
Each of these sits within 5% on the trade calculator's rule, after its depth discount. That discount is why two picks are worth less than their sum: a late 1st (871) plus an early 2nd (429) adds to 1,300 on paper but prices at 1,193.
| Format | You give | You get | Calculator totals | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1QB | 2027 Early 1st | Luther Burden (WR, 22) | 4,127 vs 3,993 | 3.2% |
| 1QB | 2027 Mid 1st | C.J. Stroud (QB, 25) | 1,864 vs 1,880 | 0.9% |
| 1QB | 2027 Late 1st | Marvin Harrison (WR, 24) | 871 vs 844 | 3.1% |
| 1QB | 2028 1st | KC Concepcion (WR, 22) | 1,508 vs 1,550 | 2.7% |
| 1QB | 2027 Late 1st + 2027 Early 2nd | Brenton Strange (TE, 25) | 1,193 vs 1,178 | 1.3% |
| 1QB | 2027 Early 2nd | Jake Ferguson (TE, 27) | 429 vs 423 | 1.4% |
| Superflex | 2027 Early 1st | Garrett Wilson (WR, 26) | 4,581 vs 4,734 | 3.2% |
| Superflex | 2027 Mid 1st | Tucker Kraft (TE, 25) | 2,126 vs 2,118 | 0.4% |
| Superflex | 2027 Late 1st | Makai Lemon (WR, 22) | 1,037 vs 1,085 | 4.4% |
| Superflex | 2028 1st | Cam Ward (QB, 24) | 1,729 vs 1,686 | 2.5% |
| Superflex | 2027 Mid 1st + 2027 Early 2nd | Bucky Irving (RB, 24) | 2,524 vs 2,480 | 1.7% |
Read the table as a floor for negotiation, not a guarantee. All 11 players are healthy as of Oct 21, 2026. The 1QB side has 6 deals and the superflex side 5.
Early 1st. In 1QB, Luther Burden is a clean match. In superflex, Garrett Wilson is. The ask is the same: a starter for the pick, not a prospect for the pick.
Mid 1st. C.J. Stroud is the lone fair 1-for-1 target in 1QB, age 25. In superflex, Tucker Kraft fits. Late 1st. Marvin Harrison is the 1QB match and Makai Lemon the superflex match. A late 1st buys depth, not a core piece.
2028 1st. KC Concepcion in 1QB and Cam Ward in superflex. If you hold a 2028 1st, it buys a player now.
Two picks for one. Brenton Strange costs a late 1st plus an early 2nd in 1QB. Bucky Irving costs a mid 1st plus an early 2nd in superflex.
How to use this
- Name the slot. Early, mid and late are three different prices.
- Use your format. The superflex number is the one to quote in a superflex league.
- Don't pay for two picks like they add up. The second asset is discounted.
- Sell a pick when your starter is thin. The fair list above is the target shelf.
- Price your own. Run your deal through the dynasty trade analyzer and see the pick board on the rookie pick values page.
