ESPN - Which teams can move up in the first round - Hashmarks By Matt Mosley

The chart shows how much draft capital each team possesses heading into this draft, based on picks held in the 2008 draft. I have assigned point values for each pick using the familiar draft-pick value chart popularized by former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.

Based on the chart, Atlanta has more trading capital than St. Louis, even though the Rams pick higher in the first round. Note that compensatory picks carry no value for the purposes of this chart because NFL rules prevent teams from trading those choices.

The trading capital refers to what ammo you have to make a trade up. The Saints were decently high on the list.
