Woops.EBF, I was kidding.but, I'd still take Jurevicius over Hagan in a heartbeat.
definitely. but, he also has a much higher chance of never doing anything. I am reasonably confident that Jurevicius will be productive for the next year or two as long as he can stay healthy. And, I happen to think that Chambers/Booker/Welker are a pretty solid group of WRs who will make it tough for Hagan to emerge this year at least.Hagan offers much greater potential.
Jurevicius doesn't fit in with my team, too old.Hagan will move past Booker easily and Welker will steal some catches but doesn't have anywhere near the talent Hagan has.definitely. but, he also has a much higher chance of never doing anything.

are you a sigmund groupie or what? :X just taking a quick looksie at the rosters i see 5 teams that look strong than his. alex fernandez is gonna be one tough bird to beat.So that's 2 for Sig, he's starting to leave this league behind.

Alex has a good team too, and I've never considered myself a groupie of anyone. It could just be that I share sig's philosophy, and respect his talent evaluation.are you a sigmund groupie or what? :X just taking a quick looksie at the rosters i see 5 teams that look strong than his. alex fernandez is gonna be one tough bird to beat.So that's 2 for Sig, he's starting to leave this league behind.![]()
Just make sure you don't drag your teeth...Sigmund doesn't like that.I haven't looked at this in a few rounds...Rounds 15+ seem to be difficult for some, but where many are making their mark. Off hand, the picks I like:15.03 227. Marc Faletti Pennington, Chad NYJ QB Mon Feb 19 8:10:35 p.m. ET 2007 Pick made based on Pre-Draft List- a good QB2, was the #15 QB last year. Some concerns, but overall a good risk/reward.15.06 230. Sigmund Bloom Perry, Chris CIN RB Mon Feb 19 8:27:50 p.m. ET 2007- major risk, but if he ever stays healthy, a steal here16.16 256. Chris Overton Porter, Jerry OAK WR Tue Feb 20 11:55:16 a.m. ET 2007- another major risk, but somehow I think he makes a good WR3 or 4 this year in this league, a good value.17.04 260. Sigmund Bloom Mason, Derrick BAL WR Tue Feb 20 12:20:35 p.m. ET 2007- part of the reason I like this pick is he already has Dem Williams, but even if he didn't, a great value here17.14 270. Jeff Pasquino Anderson, Mark CHI DE ® Wed Feb 21 12:56:22 a.m. ET 2007- was his success due to the rotation or a sign of things to come? Perhaps the "next Jared Allen"?17.16 272.

For the record I've been out of town at the FSTA conference, so I need to catch up on the entire thread, but some have made mention to me about these comments. So, I'm going to make a few comments.I'll start by going through the deals Biabreakable has pointed out between myself and AJ. First, understand that this is in backwards (reverse chronological) order, so the bottom trade happened first.I'm still trying to figure out what happened to AJ Moura's picks. Pasquino seems to be an owner working him over pretty hard.
I don't disagree.He has made a lot of trades. It is kind of hard to sort through. I wonder how well he may have kept tabs on them all himself? Going through them one by one some of the deals I didn't think were that bad then others are where he is giving up multiple picks to move up to a higher pick, those really hurt him when you add them up.
Pretty sure that the 6/9 for a 4th is negative value in a pick calculator, so a bump in the rookie draft isn't out of line. For someone who also wants to move up, they should be paying for the priviledge, so you could even argue that trading at even value is a loss for the owner moving down (i.e. no incentive).Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 4.15;Year 2006 Draft Pick 46.13
AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 6.07;Year 2006 Draft Pick 9.02;Year 2006 Draft Pick 46.08
Moura gives up a 6th and 9th for a 4th (close to 5th round pick) and trades back in the rookie draft at the same time. Loss for Moura.
Pretty small deal, proposed by AJ.Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 46.15;Year 2006 Draft Pick 48.07
AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 46.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 49.02;Year 2006 Draft Pick 49.04
These are rookie picks Moura trades back in the 1st again to pick up a mid 3rd round pick.
After 3 trades with AJ, I'm realizing this guy isn't quite up to speed on trading. I see this as a straight value deal and it is pretty even. Look at the moves up and down, and it really is, no matter how you slice it. I don't see how you can say someone moving down 27 spots then picking up 23 later and another 6 very late is unfair.AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 4.14;Year 2006 Draft Pick 8.02;Year 2006 Draft Pick 21.04
Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 6.07;Year 2006 Draft Pick 6.09;Year 2006 Draft Pick 21.10
Moura gives up 4th and 8th round picks for 2 6th round picks that he previously punts. All these deals involve Pasquino and Jeff keeps whittling this guy down repeatedly.
Without question.
35 trades in all. It is just getting dizzying to follow.
Third trade with AJ. Again, not too far out of whack, but after the first two...AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 29.15;Year 2006 Draft Pick 37.14
Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 6.04;Year 2006 Draft Pick 13.10
Pasquino gains 37th round pick net while moving up from 6th to 5th for a 13th round pick.
Second ever deal with AJ. Again, proposed by him. Crazy value, couldn't click YES fast enough.AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 1.04;Year 2006 Draft Pick 3.14;Year 2006 Draft Pick 46.13
Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 1.10;Year 2006 Draft Pick 2.07;Year 2006 Draft Pick 30.07
Moura gets worked over by Jeff again giving up a 1st round rookie (later traded back to him) while letting Jeff move up in the 1st round. If anything this deal should have been the other way around for the favor.
First time dealing with AJ. Now I've seen some guys undervalue rookies, but this is exceptional. He's trading a ton with others and Derek and Brian are trading like mad with this guy. Why not take his proposal?....Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 4.07
AJ Moura gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 4.15;Year 2006 Draft Pick 46.15
Comments: swap of 4ths for your 1.15 rookie. Sure Jeff.. whittling all the way..
You have to understand that now the league has realized AJ's trades were, overall, bad for the league. Some benefitted from his earlier deals as you pointed out, but many of us including myself took it upon ourselves to coach him some as to value. Now, you can't say that an owner can't trade, but for the betterment of the league some owners have to show better judgment and restraint. After 3 deals, I see that he's not doing himself favors and I personally went out of my way to tell him about general concepts in fair value for picks, draft pick and pick calculators, etc.This guys team is a disaster. He better keep his original rookie picks because they are going to be good ones for at least a couple years if not longer.
Congats to everyone who took advantage of this guy and I expect you will keep hounding him. I will not be suprised if this owner bails on his team soon after the mess he has created. Then it will be up to someone else to try to fix this thing.
Rand McNallyWho are we waiting on?

if it was his proposal, why do the comments say "swap of 4ths for your 1.15 rookie"? those certainly make it seem like this was your proposal. this dude was obviously in way over his head with this league. team is going to be terrible for years and had no chance to compete by the time the inaugural draft started. I've never seen someone ruin a dynasty team so quickly before.Jeff Pasquino said:First time dealing with AJ. Now I've seen some guys undervalue rookies, but this is exceptional.

way to throw me under the busJeff Pasquino said:He's trading a ton with others and Derek and Brian are trading like mad with this guy. Why not take his proposal?
i have made 2 trades total with aj, the first one i got great value on, wont deny that, but it was the very first trade of the league and no precidence was set on his style, it was my 1st for his 2nd/3rd, for all i knew that was going to be his only trade....and sitting on 2 1sts and then stable draft starting at 4th isnt completely insane........the second was very insignificantNever let it be said that I wasn't willing to throw you under the :11: datonn was bragadocious about how strong his pre-draft trading and solid GM'ing he'd done to date as he was stealing value left and right.way to throw me under the busJeff Pasquino said:He's trading a ton with others and Derek and Brian are trading like mad with this guy.

My first deal with AJ was obviously VERY lopsided. I had that trade offer waiting for me in MFL and I hit "ACCEPT" as fast as I possibly could, to strengthen myself while weakening a division foe. I made a few other subsequent deals with AJ too, but they weren't NEARLY as lopsided as that first one.
That's about what everyone feels right now. I still don't see how he can recover.Whatever floats your boat, Jeff.My first deal with AJ was obviously VERY lopsided. I had that trade offer waiting for me in MFL and I hit "ACCEPT" as fast as I possibly could, to strengthen myself while weakening a division foe. I made a few other subsequent deals with AJ too, but they weren't NEARLY as lopsided as that first one.
That's hardly a "secret" - everyone wants to move up on the back end of a 2-for-2 exchange, so building that value slowly over multiple deals can pay off.The strategy works if you have a very active trading league (which this is) but it takes a ton of effort and time to implement unless you jump start the strategy with a few one-sided deals, which you had 3 of right out of the gate.Also, your team's depth was built in the first seven rounds, not 17. 13 picks before the end of Round 7 should produce a good team, and most would be disappointed otherwise. You're not winning because of Rounds 10-45 and knowing talent that deep, but rather leveraging all you can to move up into the Top 20 rounds. That's an acceptable strategy of course, but I'm also curious to see how your team age looks when all is said and done (including the rookie draft, where you are noticeably absent).The "secret" of how I amassed so many good picks in this draft was countering trade offers with "throw-ins" of guys moving my 30th for their 25th, my 23rd for their 18th, my 20th for their 15th, my 15th for their 10th, etc. Most guys who are HOT to get up into rounds 3-4 or higher look at a 15th or a 20th and think "yeah, who cares if it'll get me that higher pick?" However, this type of draft isn't won in rounds 3-4. This type of draft is won in rounds 10-45. I made sure I had built up enough picks through the top 8-10 rounds of the draft that I could simply pluck talent off the board, regardless of need/position after that. It's worked out for the most part so far, though I am still a bit thin at D-Line. However, I got what I wanted out of this draft: a DEEP roster with a young and talented LB corps to anchor my IDP for the next 5-6 years.....and top 8-10 talent at EVERY position. Other than QB, 2-3+ other teams have more top-talent at each of the other positions. However, across EVERY position, every other team also has several more deficiencies than my squad does. That's the idea. This league is way too talented/deep for any of us to CRUSH at every position, so I'm just trying to make sure that my "advantages" in depth/talent outweigh the "disadvantages" that I have to overcome.
"In my prime" on the offensive side of the ball, young on defense. I haven't done the math to calculate average age, but I would guess that with 2-3 other owners being outliers (youth at all costs!), I'm probably right around the middle of the pack in average age.Noticeably absent from the rookie draft? Three seconds and two thirds not good enough for you?...I'm also curious to see how your team age looks when all is said and done (including the rookie draft, where you are noticeably absent).

My bad, that was SJAX2.....50.15 and aNoticeably absent from the rookie draft? Three seconds and two thirds not good enough for you?![]()

Is there value in this trade for Moura?AJ Moura gave up:Year 2006 Draft Pick 20.13Jake Bachman gave up:Year 2006 Draft Pick 24.13Year 2006 Draft Pick 29.02

All the extra picks he can get are a positive IMOI know he wanted Gaffeny at that spot, so I guess he traded out when his guy was gone.20-24 IMO is not much of a difference value wise, so he dropped down, and picks up a later pick.Is there value in this trade for Moura?AJ Moura gave up:Year 2006 Draft Pick 20.13Jake Bachman gave up:Year 2006 Draft Pick 24.13Year 2006 Draft Pick 29.02The guy needs all the help he can get and sure, he got an extra pick...but where's the value?

Yeah...I was torn between Wilford and Gaffney. Since I'm a JagsI know he wanted Gaffeny at that spot, so I guess he traded out when his guy was gone.![]()

I agree, I think this is a good trade. if any of us made our top 20 list, chances are someone will be there 4 rounds from now. Same if you make a top 5 list. I think the trade will help.20-24 IMO is not much of a difference value wise, so he dropped down, and picks up a later pick.

I assume you'll be WR heavy with those 1sts. By most accounts, this is a good year to need WRs with those picks. Right now, Jones has potential, and Driver/Glenn will do fine for a year or two, but it seems WR is your weak spot. If this was intentional with those picks, good work.Draft summary so far:

Solid squad. You should compete in year one and you'll have a pretty good long-term foundation if you can make those early picks count. The only thing that troubles me about your squad is the lack of star power. You have a lot of guys who are good, but few who are great.Draft summary so far:
