I'm glad I'm not the only one who is calling it the...

In Round 19, I held the 1st pick (#433 overall). crystalao held a pick near the end of the round (#451 overall). He moved up 18 spots in both Round 17 and 19, while also getting a back-to-back selection with my Round 16 and 17 picks. There is a tangible benefit on both sides.

I moved one pick up 29 spots.

Also, there's nothing stopping crystalao from making a trade to replenish his lost pick. He could trade one of his extra picks for a pick to make up for his lost round, and essentially end up just getting the first pick in multiple late rounds.

crystalao and I have made a trade.

I receive:
+ His 15th round pick (#355)
+ His 17th round pick (#403)
+ His 19th round pick (#433)

He receives:
+ My 16th round pick (#384)
+ My 17th round pick (#385)
+ My 19th round pick (#451)


crystalao to confirm

I don’t like this.

Anyone who has an earlier pick in round 15, please reach out. I will make a similar if not better deal. Perhaps help yourself and hurt a division opponent at the same time!

Confirmed.

I don't think crystalao understands that all he is doing is giving Mike a huge advantage and screwing the rest of us in the process. Sadly, he is screwing himself even more.

Mike not only gets two picks in Round 15 while the rest of us gets 1 and crystalao gets 0 but, Mike picks earlier in Round 19 than he would have and crystalao picks later. Talk about a 1 sided trade. That will be 2 rounds now Mike is getting 2 picks in a round to leap frog and fill his positional needs before players run out at his salary levels and/or helps him get to the higher salaried players more quickly.

While I will respect that these trades are being made freely by the other players, I am not sure they are fair in the spirit of this draft or becoming of a league in the WISC.

Good catch by magicdreamer. I will admit I did not notice that Mike had posted the terms incorrectly. The trade may up being a horrible decision on my part, but I am not quite that dim.
If ozomatli makes out like a bandit, at least I only have to play him twice. I am hoping to benefit more from the back-to-back picks heading into round 17 combined with my normal pick at the end of round 16. I've avoided the danger zone, but am feeling the squeeze of just missing out on a lot of good players.

1980 Willie Wilson $8,270,710

2003 Eric Gagne $9,409,085

With the pick acquired from rbow (430pm) I'll take 1895 Bill Lange, $8,597,522
