thenewlibrahi2 0 Posted August 31, 2006 10 team league - 1st year keeper When you keep a person from last year, you lose that round's pick this year. I have to decide between Tomlinson and my 1st pick or Steve Smith and my 5th pick. I am keeping LT, I am pretty sure, but I have the 3rd pick this year. Is is worth it to trade to the 9 spot so I can get an earlier 2nd round pick? If I do, I think I will lose out on a good #2 RB, since I want to go WR in round 2. Do I trade to the 9 spot of stay with 3 and just lose that pick and wait? Keepers I know of: Rudi Johnson (2nd round) Alexander (1st) LJ (7th) Ronnie Brown (5th) Parker (11th) Thanks!

mobb_deep 920 Posted August 31, 2006 I seriously can't understand what you're talking about. I think that's probably why nobody has answered your questions. OK, you're looking to trade down, What are you getting in return for trading down. Who are the other 8 players being kept. ps. If what happens in the first 2 or 3 rounds is "your whole season", you don't draft very well. Leagues are won in the middle rounds not the first 2 picks.

Otherwise, not sure.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vermicious Knids 0 Posted August 31, 2006 can you kep LJ and LT? How many can you keep. Trust me LT is a solid keeper. Your post is terrible to read. It makes little sense and when it is not clear and concise not to many people will help. Rewrite it and I am sure you will get help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, not sure.... OK so let me get this straight. If you trade down you still get to keep LT2. So essentially you're trying to trade up because you're keeping LT2 but you're looking at drafting at 1.9 instead of 2.8 for your first pick? Does the guy you want to trade draft picks with want to trade? I'm still confused on how you can keep LT2 and trade up to the 1.9 without giving up anything. If your first pick is the 18 pick of the draft (2.8) then wouldn't you have to give up a 4th or 5th rounder to trade all the way up to 9th overall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All it means is that I get an earlier 2nd round pick.... Then I have wait a long time for my #2 RB though. WIth all the keepers, don't know who will be left....

WIth all the keepers, don't know who will be left.... oh ok, so you give up a 1.9 for for LT2 instead of a 1.3. So your first pick is at 2.2 instead of 2.8 but don't get to pick again until 3.9 instead of 3.3. Yes I would definitely do that. In a 10 team league there should still be enough depth at RB to snag someone like Lewis or Dillon in the 3rd. I think I might be a little upset if I was your league mates though. It seems like it's a loophole in your keeper rules or something. You're basically trading a draft pick you already used (1.3) for a draft pick that hasn't been used (1.9). By doing so you''re actually trading up while keeping LT2 and the guy you're trading with also is trading up because he doesn't have a first round keeper. Doesn't sound fair to me.

thenewlibrahi2 0 Posted August 31, 2006 thanks, I see it as unfair a little too. so did the guy at #1 when i tried to trade with him. if i had 1, i could keep smith with my 5th round and draft lt with my first pick... hmmmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my leagues is very similar in that whatever round the player you choose to keep was drafted is no longer available. For this reason we also don't allow any trades involving the round a player that is kept from either. I drafted Tomlinson in the first round last year and opted to keep him this year since if I didn't keep him there's no way I could get even close to a comparable running back. I agree with your decision. If I'm understanding the question, you're trying to decide whether you should trade positions entirely which would still cost your first round pick for Tomlinson and if you take a WR in the second you won't have another pick until 3.09. If this is right then you'd have a top 5 WR from your second round pick and should have at least one from the following available in the third: Dunn C Taylor Droughns Gore It's possible one of these backs makes it to your next pick in the fourth at 4.02 too. In your situation I'd take my chances and go with the receiver in the second round and then take back to back running backs with the next two picks. Even if I had to reach a little in the fourth for my RB3 I think it would be worth the risk to have Tomlinson and a top WR with the potential for an ok RB2 and good RB3. That's just me though.

That's a tough one man but I think I would of kept Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
