ljbrun Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 This is our 2nd year, so our 1st where we have keepers from the previous year. We have a mandatory 2 keepers (can be kept forever). We allow trades during the draft. The question now has to to do with keepers during the draft. Once the 1st team is on the clock, do you allow teams to make mid-draft trades that result in keepers being traded away for draft picks (in the current draft)?

In fact, depending on if there is any space between your keeper dclaration and your draft, we allow trading in that time period to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We allow trading, so long as they keep 2 players (2 keepers mandatory). What I'm not sure of is, when has the 2 keeper mandatory rule been satisfied? Once the draft starts or once they've made their 1st pick, or when the draft is over? Example: Owner's 1st pick is 10th overall. He owns Frank Gore and LT. Can he trade Gore for the 3rd overall pick straight up, now he has LT and 2 1st round picks, but no 2nd keeper. Does he violate the mandatory 2 keeper rule, or did he just need to have 2 keepers when the draft started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 IMO, the 2 keeper rule is satisfied at the keeper declaration date/time. At that point, all teams only have 2 players, so all are on a level playing field from that point on, so, IMO, all can trade anyone they want.

Bronco Billy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Once the 1st team is on the clock, do you allow teams to make mid-draft trades that result in keepers being traded away for draft picks (in the current draft)? Yes. Every league is different and owners' tolerance for player movement can vary, especially during a critical time like the draft, but IMO if you want action in the league you encourage player movement as mouch as possible.
