Well how to track SJAX2's trades.. hmm..
1st of all he traded Draft Pick 1.02;Year 2006 Draft Pick 3.02;Year 2006 Draft Pick 7.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 12.15
Sigmund Bloom gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 1.06;Year 2006 Draft Pick 2.11;Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.06;Year 2006 Draft Pick 10.11
SJAX2 did not net an extra pick in this trade. That would have been a requirement for me if I were drafting out of the top 2 picks. I would at the very least required a later pick to be gained by me without returning a later pick of my own. Or I would target a rookie pick extra. In any case your giving me 4 picks for 3 or 3 picks for 2.. I am gaining a pick period or your not getting me to trade down like this.
There may be times that I am willing to swap positions in the draft where neither owner is gaining a pick in the exchange just because I want to move position. But for the most part when I am trading down I will only do it to gain an extra pick somewhere for it to be worth the value that I lose by trading down.
I look at it this way. If I am trading you Larry Johnson (as this pick ends up being) I am not going to be trading him to you for any player straight up. Your giving me quality players not one player for him. That is the only way you could realisticly make such a trade post draft so that is my same expectation when trading draft picks. While the pick upgrades are nice they don't do it for me like an extra pick will. That is my opinion. Some owners don't like the idea of having less than thier total number of picks. Well I wont be trading with them like this then. I will find someone who will. I think bloom should have given 6.11 for nothing in return in order to do this deal. So Draft Pick 1.02;Year 2006 Draft Pick 3.02 for 1.06 2.11 and 6.11 = LJ + Lee Evans for Bush + Boldin + Furrey. I don't think that is unreasonable at all. No way would I take what SJAX2 got from bloom for the 1.02 pick. LJ + Lee Evans + Ernie Sims + 12.15 for Bush + Boldin + Ben Watson + Matt Shuab? Nope I like the LJ side of that deal even without seeing who bloom gets at pick 12.15 yet.
Next trade that matters is AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 1.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 6.11;Year 2006 Draft Pick 14.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 30.11;Year 2006 Draft Pick 30.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 42.04;Year 2006 Draft Pick 42.13
SJAX2 gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 2.11;Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 1.13 rookie pick
I like this trade better but hold the phone there wilbur!! SJAX trades a 2nd and 5th for a 1st and 6th + a 14th and multiple round 30 or later picks. He has to give up his 1st round rookie for that though. Those late picks are too late to honestly matter very much. The rookie pick is better than those. Those round 30 picks are in the player 500 area. Who are you really going to find there? Your going to be scratching you head to find a player that you even know much about at that point so the deal is more like a 14th round pick player 221 to be exact for rookie 1.13
SJAX2 gets taken again

but it is not a huge loss and moving up from 2.11 to 1.13 is worth that I think. The extra round 30 picks will help SJAX2 fill out his roster earlier also.
The more I look the more I see owners pilfering value from SJAX2 through trades. Not sure how you guys are talking draft pick values here. Probobly based off of Jeff's diabolical draft pick calculator contraption.
NEVER will I let some machine or mathematical formula try to tell me how valuable some picks are. That will not cut the mustard.
Ouch Mora keeps going back to the SJAX2 well with this one: Jake Bachman gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 2.15;Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.04;Year 2006 Draft Pick 6.03
AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 1.10;Year 2006 Draft Pick 24.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 48.07
The hits just keep coming in
Will Grant moves up from round 6 to round 5 by giving SJAX2 a 2.16 rookie pick.
There are a couple deals where I see SJAX2 coming out ahead which balances things somewhat but for the most part I think he got the raw end of deals and degraded his high pick value of drawing pick 1.02 I think he would have ended up better with just doing a straight draft from that position of strength.
1.02 Larry Johnson
2.15 Roy Williams
3.02 Andre Johnson
4.15 Matt Leinart ----> could be DeMeco Ryans,Jerrius Norwood, Thomas Jones, Randy Moss or S. Holmes.
5.02 Tom Brady
6.15 London Fletcher
----------------BREAK------------------
7.02 Jarred Allen
8.15 Alex Smith-----> Could be a LB TE WR or RB instead
9.02 Brandon Jones
10.15 Davis, Andra CLE LB
The positions get slanted to much by QB picks but you get a general idea of the level of talent he started out with at that draft position.
This is what he ends up drafting:
1.06 Bush, Reggie NOS RB ®
1.10 Addai, Joseph IND RB ®
2.11 Boldin, Anquan ARI WR
3.14 Clayton, Mark BAL WR
5.03 Romo, Tony DAL QB
6.02 Hawk, A.J. GBP LB ®
-------------------------BREAK-----------------------
7.15 Jackson, Vincent SDC WR
9.12 Polamalu, Troy PIT S
10.03 Daniels, Owen HOU TE ®
-------------------------BREAK------------------------
10.09 Mathis, Robert IND DE Sat
10.11 Williams, Mario HOU DE ®
10.12 Schaub, Matt ATL QB
10.15 Davis, Andra CLE LB
10.16 Crowell, Angelo BUF LB
SJAX2 does pile up multiple 10th round picks after all his flapping around and that is kind of interesting. All of these picks are outside of the top 150 but he gets some decent players in Andra Davis Crowell Mario Williams and Robert Mathis to bolster his IDP crew. He has consolidated most of his picks into his top 6 players. Polamalu was a nice pick at 9.12
This team is extremely young. Look at all the ® but he doesen't pick again until pick 13.02 then 16.15 17.02 18.15 19.02 21.02
I think the Sharks have picked this carcass pretty clean allready.
Bush and Addai if they pan out will be good players moving forward. Boldin and Mark Clayton are good WRs but Jackson is a ? still at this point and he still does not have a 4th WR. Romo might be allright but I have him in Dynasty and honestly I am not sold on him moving forward yet. Hawk and Polamalu are good IDPs. I like Owen Daniels but I see him as a backup TE still at this point. I have some optimism for him but he is a risk as a TE1. The players that he has to pick 10.16 are going to have to hold it down for him. He doesen't have rookie pick help coming that I saw from this draft class (maybe I missed somthing in those trades?) and I think he may be drafting high in the rookie draft in 08.
Maybe I am being a bit harsh as this is a 16 team league but I see too much risk in speculative youth overall on his roster and some of those players could still bust. I don't see help coming in depth behind it with the picks he has remaining while other teams allready have more total players than he does with many more picks coming before he picks again. I realise I am comparing 12 team rosters to 16 here somewhat in my assesment but his roster looks like the prospect list that teams have behind thier starters for the most part to me. With all the rookies on his squad this team looks like a rebuild where the year before the team had traded almost all of thier decent veterans for rookie picks in 06.
To put things in better perspective I looked quickly at the other team rosters and SJAX2 is in better shape comparativly than I thought. I guess I was letting my 12 team perspective have too much weight. I still don't like his trades and I think he would be better off right now for not making most of them. Either by drafting straight or by making different trades.
Starting out in high draft position in dynasty has a lot more value than I think people realise. This does get offset somewhat by having rookie picks reverse order. That does help to balance things somewhat. I think starting high in a league like this where many owners are willing to trade he could have really done well with a multiple trade down strategy. The higher you start in the 1st round the more opportunities to trade down and pick up extra picks you have. The trade downs was the main thing that interested me about this draft and SJAX2 did this also piling up all those 10th round picks. I just dont like the trades he did. I think he could have done much better and be in a lot stronger position right now although his specific players may not be as sexy at the top of his roster.
That is the way things go sometimes in Dynasty and his team is definitly built for the future. Several of his top players will be highly valued by other teams in trades.
