Redraft Leagues (1 Viewer)

[footballnerd]

In Redraft leagues many last place teams trade players for draft picks. Do your leagues try to regulate the value of the pick versus the quality of the player? One trade could drastically change the competitiveness of the league, which is fine, as long as the benefiting team loses an adequate draft pick. Have you experienced last place teams dumping players for just about any pick they can get? We just had our last place team trade Reggie Wayne and a 5th for Randel El and a 3rd. I think the guy could have given a lower pick than a 5th in return.

happens all the time in our keep 1 player league, gotta stay on top of those crappy teams and be the one who gets the steal.

Never heard of a straight redraft league that you could trade future picks...

my league (redraft) prohibits trading players for future draft picks.

What do you guys do if a team doesn't return the next year? It could totally kill the integrity of the league in the current year if someone trades "difference maker" players to one team for draft picks then drops out of the league.

I am in a 3 keeper league, and we can trade picks 2 years in advance. We inserted a rule, that if you trade into the 2nd year, each pick you trade, you hve to secure with a 25.00 deposit, to be paid at the next redraft. If the owner leaves, then the person taking over has some of the 150.00 cost offset.

Has not been an issue in the 16 years the league has run

***EDIT***

as posted in the post below me...we also have a lottery for 1st pick overall...so if you miss the playoffs, you have a shot...so tanking really does you no good.

You find a new owner. Wow that was easy.What happens when an NFL team trades a 2009 pick and a new GM takes the job? The world stops? It's not really a big deal. If you're super anal, you can have a toilet bowl playoff for the non-playoff teams. Lets say 4-6 teams miss the playoffs. They have a backet for the 1st overall pick. Or a 3 game mini tournament most points gets 1.01, then 1.02, etc.. So if you dump hard, you'll get 1.04 or 1.06. So you reward people for playing hard right up until week 16. Keeps everyone on the league site, active, playing hard until the championship is over.

Interesting idea. Thanks.
