Ah, interesting. I bet that's a coding issue, then. That would be a rare case to trade for a drafted rookie before signing him. We likely need to put some exception in the code for that.*


* - "We" in this case means cdcox since I'm clueless.

Dupe pick on Brennan Williams in league 1?

Can I get that zeroed out? Id pick someone else.

I think those are two different guys if you're talking about Picks 115 and 116. Brandon is a DT and Brennan is an OT.

Oh, great. So I'm stuck with that?

Why wouldn't you be?

You have acquired a 6-6, 310-pound elite athlete. You should be thrilled, especially when he returns from injured reserve next year.

Santana Moss?

Nobody's looking to ship out a late rounder, eh?

That seems like reasonable value, but the draft is like opening Christmas gifts to me.

I could use moss, unfortunately I only have a 7th rounder left.. just picked recently.

I'm always amazed at how deep the talent goes in these drafts. Even going into the final round I have several guys I'm interested in.

I guess that's why I can't snare a 6th. Can't even get a nibble.

Pretty surprised, really.

Yeah, Moss is a fine player, and truthfully will likely be better going forward than most of our late picks. However, he's got maybe one or two years left, and if you get lucky with a late pick you could get five years or more. Our 7th round picks are NFL 5th rounders, mostly. Unless I'm really making a push for a one-year window, I'd rather roll the dice and hope for a long-term win than take a certain small short-term win.

But I think you're offering a fair trade, for what it's worth.

Yeah, I had not thought of that contingency. It can be coded.

I look for players that were drafted by the owning team in the latest draft. I need to just look at the player and the draft without considering the owning team. Easy fix.

Oh, cool. I was worried that it would be one of those problems that requires a significant recode.
