Picks only matter if you know what they turn into. Here is the price of each pick, the healthy starter at every position it lands next to, and the deals the calculator calls fair. Values as of Oct 29, 2026, week 8 of the regular season. Fantasy Football Calculator had no dynasty data that day, so the draft-market side comes from Sleeper dynasty drafts.
Picks and players share one 0 to 10,000 scale, so you can trade one for the other without a conversion table. Superflex has its own set of numbers.
Pick prices, 1QB and superflex
| Pick | 1QB value | Superflex value | Superflex bump | Players priced higher (1QB / SF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 Early 1st | 4,182 | 4,913 | +731 (+17%) | 36 / 28 |
| 2027 Mid 1st | 1,864 | 2,171 | +307 (+16%) | 81 / 71 |
| 2027 Late 1st | 858 | 1,014 | +156 (+18%) | 121 / 110 |
| 2028 1st | 1,507 | 1,770 | +263 (+17%) | 87 / 82 |
| 2027 Early 2nd | 417 | 500 | +83 (+20%) | 160 / 149 |
| 2027 Mid 2nd | 214 | 260 | +46 (+21%) | 186 / 176 |
| 2027 Late 2nd | 115 | 142 | +27 (+23%) | 222 / 209 |
| 2028 2nd | 174 | 212 | +38 (+22%) | 201 / 186 |
An early 2027 1st is 10.0 early 2nds in 1QB. A mid 1st is 4.5. A late 1st is 2.1. If someone offers you two seconds for a first, check which first.
The early 1st sits behind 36 players in 1QB and 28 in superflex. That is the price of a top-40 asset, not a lottery ticket.
Superflex: who pays more
Every pick costs more in superflex. The mid 1st gets the smallest bump of the four firsts, +16%. The late 1st gets the biggest, +18%. The late 2nd climbs +23%, the largest jump on the board.
Quarterbacks show the gap. Bryce Young is 1,664 in 1QB and 4,854 in superflex. Jordan Love is 1,641 and 5,000. In superflex both land next to the early 1st (4,913). In 1QB both cost far less than that pick. Same player, two very different asks.
What each pick buys, by position
The closest healthy player at each position, with value in parentheses. Anyone with an injury tag is left out.
| Pick | Format | QB | RB | WR | TE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 Early 1st (4,182) | 1QB | Joe Burrow (4,185) | Bucky Irving (3,787) | Luther Burden III (4,125) | Sam LaPorta (3,542) |
| 2027 Early 1st (4,913) | Superflex | Bryce Young (4,854) | James Cook III (4,556) | Nico Collins (4,990) | Trey McBride (4,502) |
| 2027 Mid 1st (1,864) | 1QB | Bryce Young (1,664) | Quinshon Judkins (1,894) | KC Concepcion Jr. (1,770) | George Kittle (2,011) |

| 2027 Late 1st (858) | 1QB | Kyler Murray (856) | Rhamondre Stevenson (922) | Marvin Harrison Jr. (880) | Kenyon Sadiq (930) |
| 2027 Late 1st (1,014) | Superflex | Deshaun Watson (922) | Ollie Gordon II (1,016) | Wan'Dale Robinson (984) | Brenton Strange (1,047) |

| 2028 1st (1,770) | Superflex | Geno Smith (1,805) | D'Andre Swift (1,724) | DK Metcalf (1,741) | Colston Loveland (1,739) |
Read across a row and you see the real trade-off. At the mid 1st price in superflex there is no healthy player within the calculator's 5% fair range. The closest, Bhayshul Tuten (RB, 23), is 6.9% off. Pair the pick with a 2nd instead (see the table below).
Fair deals: picks for players
The calculator's rule: your best piece counts 100%, the second 75%, the third 55%. A deal is fair inside 5%. Each player below is the healthy player closest to the pick price. Nobody has an injury tag.
| Format | You give | You get | Calculator totals | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1QB | 2027 Early 1st | Joe Burrow (QB, 29) | 4,182 vs 4,185 | 0.1% |
| 1QB | 2027 Mid 1st | Quinshon Judkins (RB, 23) | 1,864 vs 1,894 | 1.6% |
| 1QB | 2027 Late 1st | Kyler Murray (QB, 29) | 858 vs 856 | 0.2% |
| 1QB | 2028 1st | Travis Kelce (TE, 37) | 1,507 vs 1,543 | 2.3% |
| 1QB | 2027 Late 1st + 2027 Early 2nd | Josh Downs (WR, 25) | 1,171 vs 1,146 | 2.1% |
| 1QB | 2027 Early 1st + 2027 Late 1st | Tee Higgins (WR, 27) | 4,826 vs 4,836 | 0.2% |
| Superflex | 2027 Early 1st | Bryce Young (QB, 25) | 4,913 vs 4,854 | 1.2% |
| Superflex | 2027 Late 1st | Ollie Gordon II (RB, 22) | 1,014 vs 1,016 | 0.2% |
| Superflex | 2028 1st | DK Metcalf (WR, 28) | 1,770 vs 1,741 | 1.6% |
| Superflex | 2027 Mid 1st + 2027 Mid 2nd | Isaiah Likely (TE, 26) | 2,366 vs 2,355 | 0.5% |
| Superflex | 2027 Late 1st + 2027 Early 2nd | Cam Ward (QB, 24) | 1,389 vs 1,355 | 2.4% |
| Superflex | 2027 Early 1st + 2027 Late 1st | Ashton Jeanty (RB, 22) | 5,674 vs 5,677 | 0.1% |
Going the other way. You can also split a pick. In 1QB, Bhayshul Tuten (2,648) plus Denzel Boston (2,042) prices at 4,180 against 4,182 for the early 1st, a gap under 0.1%. In superflex, Bucky Irving (2,876) plus Sam LaPorta (2,724) prices at 4,919 against 4,913, a 0.1% gap. Two good starters for one pick is the depth play.
The quarterback angle. Joe Burrow (29) is 4,185 in 1QB, nearly identical to the early 1st at 4,182. If you need a quarterback and your league starts one, that is the pick-for-QB price.
