im not sure i do either...lol what im trying to say is, u trade ur 1st round pick ok. it is only a draft slot like u said, i agree. but what if the guy u traded that pick to has 0/0 scouting, he wont be able to see that player probably, also, a very good point that was raised in our world; when u trade ur 1st round pick, ur going to ask the other team to draft such and such a guy that he might not see because of scouting. so u might have to give him a top 25 prospect list? it seems complicated, but when we figure it out, its gonna be so much fun.
