Ugh...my 12 man redraft league determines our draft order months before the draft. We picked the draft order 2 days ago.

The guy that got the #2 overall pick traded his entire draft to the guy that has the #12 overall pick and they swapped picks in the 7th round.

The guy that moved into the #2 pick is TommyGunz...everyone in the league knows he sweats ADP and LT2.

Why are people making trades in draft order this early? Why wouldn't the original #2 overall pick shop his pick around and see what he can get? Am I crazy here or was it horrible trading away the #2 pick to move up in the 7th round?

Can you trade picks in your league and when do you determine your draft order?

MFL league?Sounds like a pretty guppie trade, but as long as both owners have paid their $$$ who cares really. Moving from 2 to 12 should get him at least an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick.My primary league determines the "1st round" (we have 1 keeper/team) based on 2007 playoffs. The teams not in the money playoffs actually dont just play for pride, the winner of their tournament gets the #1 draft pick! Of course the rest of the first round is just the money teams in reverse order, champ = last pick. Other than that, we used MFL to randomize our draft so it snakes every 2 rounds, and its good to go. That's a little "funner" than picking after the same guys every time.

Guppie is correct. And I agree, he could have easily made the trade and moved up in the 3rd round instead of the 7th round. This is a strong league. 10 of the 12 owners have been in this league for 9 years. I guess some people really love that "bookend" pick.I just spoke to the guy that traded the #2 pick. He's drunk as a skunk at the bar. He made the trade drunk as a skunk. Crazy.

It's never good to trade under the influence (TUI). Too bad that owner in your league didn't know better, and great work by the guy moving into the #2 spot taking advantage of an owner obviously drunk and not thinking. Oh wait, that was me.

Precisely why it's best to either auction or reverse 3rd.

Was thinking of doing the reverse 3rd this year. Do you only do it in the one round?
