1st pick for 5th pick...idiot?

[Whateva]

I just traded the 1st pick in the draft for the 5th pick. I also received my trade partners 2nd round pick (16th) and he received my 4th round pick (40th).

 

Did I do the right thing? Any idea who I might take in the 5th and 16th spots (I have players I’m shooting for)

 

I play in a 10 man league with the following scoring;

6pts TD across the board

1pt for 20 yds running and receiving

1pt for 50 yds passing

.25pt for a reception

.20pt for a completion

Bonuses for 100 yds running or receiving and for 300 yds passing

 

If you answer, I’ll be you newest bestest friend for evers and evers and evers.

 

Thanks a million in advance!

So you traded 1/40 for 5/16 then. It can be looked at many different ways from many different people. Trades like this are subject to what you think and what year your doing it in.

 

I remember back in 2007 I wanted LT so bad I traded my 5/16 for the guys 1/38 so it is very similar trade.

 

Back then LT was considered by far the #1 player but this year depending on scoring method it can be any number of players.

 

The pick chart says you won by 9% in the deal

Thanks for the link Henry. A great resources!

 

Here’s how the draft ended up after the trade.

 

1st pick – Peterson

40th pick – T.O.

 

For

 

5th pick – L.T.

16th pick – Peyton Manning (We get 6pts for each passing TD)

 

I was then able to get Calvin Johnson and Portis with my 20 and 21st picks.

 

How do you think it ended up? Am I the big winner or pathetic loser?
