A simple CLI App to compare the value of up to 32 NFL draft pick collections with one another. This can be useful when trying to determine which team in the draft has the most draft capital, or by how much a team increased or decreased their capital with their draft day (pick) trades. The most obvious use case however is to determine who won a pick trade according to different value charts.
For now, these are the charts one can choose between to determine value:
- Jimmy Johnson
- Rich Hill
- Fitzgerald/Spielberger
- Kevin Meers (Harvard Sports Analysis)
- PFF WAR
- Michael Lopez (blended curve)
- Chase Stuart
- Ben Baldwin (On-Field Value + Surplus Value, both excluding QBs)
To account for drafts with a lot of compensatory picks, each chart is "prolonged" to 270 picks, using estimates on what the remaining values would be. Since there is no consensus last pick between the charts and none of them accounts for 270 picks, the projected value of pick numbers > ~255 is technically undefined for most of the included charts.
Both charts by Ben Baldwin explicitly exclude pick trades that lead to the selection of a QB, as (according to the author) the exceptional of the position requires a separate calculation.
pip install ndccpython -m ndccTo add another chart, simply add a column in charts.csv, fill in the values and add the column name and chart name you want to be presented with to the values (and default_values, if you want the chart to be selected by default) of the checkboxlist_dialog in input.get_selected_charts().
