Also as an FYI, it's generally better to have the good player in hand rather than draft picks. KCF tends to tells us that we overvalue draft picks. As a reference here's the ratings of my draft picks at time of picking them (I tend to pick somewhere near the middle of the round but I've traded a lot of picks too)

1st - 80, 82, 80, 80
2nd - 80, 78, 79, 79
3rd - 75, 78, 77, 75
4th - 77, 75
5th - 76

And most of my 6th and 7th I cut before writing down what their rating was (usually low 70's, my sole 5th being a 76 is higher than the norm)

Obviously those players improve over time but certainly don't expect 1st and 2nd to become guaranteed starters. Players need playtime to improve and they also need to be semi-successful (or be part of a successful unit). So it's very possible to draft high picks who don't see much improvement

KCF might be able to show you some trades that have taken place in recent years to give you a good idea of player value. Some positions are also scarce for higher rated players too (CB's spring to mind, I think MLB's too, OLB's to an extent and I think a lot of the good Guards and Centers are old)

Oh and HB's are worth virtually nothing, even highly rated ones, because they are so readily available and tend to develop pretty easily.
