Future Draft Pick Trading (1 Viewer)

[Tjaden]

Started my first PPR-Dynasty League with 12members and 30-man-roster.

Since this is the first year I'm not quite confident to allow an "all out"draft pick trading of future picks (Rookie Draft 2012, 2013,...)cause I'm afraid it will be a problem if someone mess up his team and trades away all his future picks and leaves the league shortly after/or has no chance of rebuilding his team.

So would it be a smart move to limit the future draft pick trading during the 1st season to zero and allow it starting next pre-season after all members have been participated one season in the league and can be trusted?

What are the basic rules/settings for future draft pick trades?

How deep should the rookie-draft be? 3 Rounds? 4 or 5?

Should it be allow to trade picks far in the future 2014, 2015, 2016...?

What are your experience with this topic?

It's not about trading draft picks before the inaugural draft, it's about the future picks in the rookie drafts 2012, 2013...

normally trading future picks comes with a cost. say 10 bucks. then if a team is destroyed and the owner quits when it comes time to find a new owner, the commish can offer a discount and use the trade money to ensure a full kitty for the league

My dynasty leagues only allow trading future draft picks if you have paid your buy in for that year. Mostly you are paid a year ahead so if anyone tanks their team and quits, there buy in is already paid and nonrefundable.

You have to allow for future picks to be traded, but you also have to protect the league. This is a dynasty league and sacrificing now for the future is the name of the game. Like the other poster said make them pay. I've seen leagues where you have to throw a little money down for every future pick you trade for and also where you have to pay anywhere from half to all of the entry fee for the year of the pick your trading for before anything goes through. What you go with boils down to how much your trust leaguemates to stay on for the long haul.

My dynasty league only allows one year into the future. This is great in a lot of ways. Most importantly, it allows every owner to get new assets to trade every year, so everyone can stay engaged in every offseason. Otherwise, the guy that pulls off a Hershel Walker/Ricky Williams deal and then has no players, has years before he can rebuild. In this system there are still enough picks available so that players of every caliber (including Ray Rice and Jamaal Charles this offseason) can be moved.

The next year's picks become available shortly after the NFL SuperBowl. For example, 2013 picks become available in February or March of 2012. Our rookie draft is held August 1-4. So there is a window where two years of picks are available between Feb/Mar and August.

I think allowing anything more than 1 year of future picks is potentially too damaging to the league.

We allow only 1 year, and must pay 1/2 deposit for next year with the move of a pick.

What are the basic rules/settings for future draft pick trades? Pay all league dues up to year of pick traded.

How deep should the rookie-draft be? 3 Rounds? 4 or 5? 12 teamnon idp? 5 rounds. IDP 6 rounds

Should it be allow to trade picks far in the future 2014, 2015, 2016...? Two years in advance ( 2013 )

This is the correct answer.

i run 3 dynasty leagues

we allow picks to be traded only 1 year in advance

I have played in dynasty leagues that allowed picks to be traded 3 years in advanced. I think that is a bad idea

 

[streamkeeper]

Our league does not allow for trading future draft picks DURING the season. Too much temptation to have coaches give up and dump the farm.

I have played under other rules that allowed trading.

I think in season trading for future seasons eventually bring in problems.

We allow trading of draft picks. To stop tanking we have the non playoffs teams compete for the #1 pick. Toilet Bowl winner then gets the #1 pick.

The reason I don't do this is, the team that is actually the worst needs that pick to rebuild but they aren't going to be good enough to win the toilet bowl. They don't have to not tank to lose, they just lose. There's a huge difference between the 1.1 and 1.6, and the worst team would get the 1.6 if its based on the toilet bowl keeping that team at the bottom again and again. Instead I have them compete for a 1.13 (extra pick at the end of the 1st round).I do the same for pick trading as has been mentioned by many others, require a deposit on next season. However just 50% not a full payment.

there is an easier way to stop tanking. kick there ### out of the league if they tank

That system punishes the worst team and rewards a mediocre team. Yuk!!!I really like the way that misfits commish Steve has set up his rules for future trades. They really are well balanced and allow for nuance.



1.9 Future draft choices...trading of future draft choices will be allowed and encouraged. They will be unlimited and w/out cost, from the end of the regular NFL season (after the Super Bowl), until 12 midnight prior to the rookie/FA draft of our league.Trading of future picks at any other time (either in season, or for several seasons in advance), will require a $10 deposit per trade/per team. This will allow the league to accrue funds to replace an owner that might abandon a franchise after trading future picks, leaving the league in a difficult situation trying to find an owner for that franchise. If the league would accrue more than enough to replace 2 franchises, any additional funds will become part of the payout for that season, going to our Super Bowl Champ.

Clarification. Steve allows trades two years in advance. Once a future pick is traded it becomes fee free. so if you aquire my 2012 1st you can trade it for free to another team.

Thanks for the good input!

I'll use that for my league.

It's always tough to balance out a league especially a dynasty league (where you need to be very influential sometimes), if you give them enough free space they're going wild and if you put on some restrictions they mourn.

I hate to bump an old thread but figure why create another post.

Anyway, I would like to introduce this into my league that I run. Currently, we allow trades of picks 2 years in advance with no fee. We have a 5 round rookie draft.

1) If team A trades player X for a future 1st to team B do both franchises pay a fee or does only the team trading the pick?

2) Does your league use a tiered fee structure? For example, trading a 1st requires 100% fee, 2nd 75%, 3rd 50% and so forth?

3) What is an appropriate or usual percentage of the league fee to ask for trading futures?

4) Links to your league bylaws, if applicable, would be appreciated so I can see how yours is structured.
