Get refamiliarized with trade value chart in case Jaguars make a move

The 2026 NFL draft is near, so let's refamiliarize ourselves with the trade value chart in the event that the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to move up or down the draft board. In James Gladstone's first year as general manager, we saw his willingness to move around the draft board. This year, although without a first-round pick, the Jaguars do have 11 selections, giving Gladstone the flexibility to again trade up or down as needed.

The  trade value chart  was created by former  Dallas Cowboys ' head coach Jimmy Johnson during his tenure with the team. In short, the chart assigns a numerical value to each selection throughout the seven rounds of the NFL draft, so a team can quantify whether or not a trade involving draft picks is a fair one. Today, there are various models out there of the trade value chart, but Johnson's has largely stood the test of time and laid the foundation.

Jaguars trade back scenario using trade value chart Using the 2026 version of Johnson's trade chart, here is an example of what the Jaguars could potentially get in return from trading down from pick No. 56 to pick No. 63 in a deal with New England.

The Jaguars would have to give up pick No. 56 (340), and in return, they would get picks 63 (276), 125 (47), and 171 (23). In this scenario, the Jaguars traded away 340 points in draft pick value and received 346 points.
