There are many ways to measure net worth, the most popular of which is the Dallas Cowboys Jimmie Johnson trading chart, simply because it was widely available before more detailed studies were available. Brad Spielberger and Jason Fitzgerald’s draft cost chart, which tries to find the best correlation between draft slots and future compensation, puts more weight on later picks, which mimics a more realistic market in the league today.
On the Spielberger-Fitzgerald chart, after trading receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for a team pick in the first and second rounds, the Packers’ draft capital would be 7,433 points, good for sixth-best NFL teams to date. . For reference, the teams that have more draft capital than Green Bay ahead of the 2022 draft are the New York Jets (9,432), Jacksonville Jaguars (8,892), New York Giants (8 855), Philadelphia Eagles (8664) and Detroit Lions (7915). ). Those five teams combined for a combined 23-61-1 record in 2021, while the Packers were able to acquire that capital after a 13-4 season.

Spielberger and Fitzgerald’s chart values the 22nd overall pick (Raiders player in the first round) at 1434 points and the 53rd overall pick (Riders’ second round) at 988 points. Combined, the exchange package for Adams, not counting the $20 million saved on the salary cap, is 2,442 points, about the cost of the third overall pick (2,443).
Like the Adams trade or not, you can’t argue that too many teams are better drafted than the Packers, who have two picks in each of the first, second, and fourth rounds of the 2022 draft. Meanwhile, the Raiders are bottom of the league by metric after the Adams deal.
