Like trades!

I'm adding picks / balancing though. Cards getting a 2024 1st for the trade down.

Colts adding a 2023 3rd for the 1 spot move up along with Moore.

I would never have come close to doing such a trade with the Cardinals if a future first was involved. My offer was very much a take it or leave it deal, was very content to stay at 7 and taken the best defensive player on the board at that point.

The trade down from 3 to 4 and Kenny Moore is a fair trade though on both sides imo.

You made out like a thief.

Fair value would've been along the line of

Arizona: 3
LV: 7, 38, 2023 2nd (If not a 1st)

At the very least. Another first probably deserved to be in the mix

We're talking 4 slots. I agree I got the better end of the deal but I don't think trading up 4 slots in this instance would be worth giving up two second round picks. It was a unique situation because Dixie messaged me asking if I wanted the trade - their offer was 3 for 7 and the Raiders first 3rd round pick (around pick 70). Obviously demand wasn't there because if there was the offer would have been a lot more.

The assumption also probably would have been that I was going to take a QB. I had zero intention of ever taking a QB. From my perspective I was mulling over the offer in terms of whether to go for it and get Will Anderson or sit at 7 and hope one of Carter or Gonzalez were still available. Trading down from 3 to 4 adding Kenny Moore was nothing more than a well executed bluff to add a further player at a position of need (slot corner) all the while knowing my preferred player (Anderson) was still going to be available after said trade down.

I can't specifically speak for Dixie but I can imagine they probably thought they could trade down 4 slots and still get one of Anderson or Carter. If they assumed I would take a QB, fair assumption Indy takes a QB, Seattle probably takes Anderson or Carter then it's a gamble on hoping Detroit takes a DB ahead of whoever out of Anderson and Carter weren't yet selected. In which case they still get one of the top two defensive prospects in the draft and get an additional day 2 pick. Not a bad result I would think.

Are we auto-picking this pick? It has been almost 24 hours since the last pick.

He's figuring out what player would best be able to help execute the rugby scrum.

Sorry guys, life got in the way yesterday. Yes was online for a minute but no time to make a pick. Normal transmission has resumed.

BTW those bulk tag posts dont work, I had no idea this had started until after I had been tagged for my pick.
