With the trade score of the WR so high, trading for just a first was unlikely.
Even then, there's no guarantee that the draft pick will bloom.
While negotiating with him, I'm sure 500 has thought about it and he probably sees that at that position of the draft, this was far more the better value for his team than through the draft.
If I could've given an additional pick or player, I would have as well. Trade meter is a good suggestion, but handicaps are built in it as well.
this exactly what my mindset is I need two main positions this offseason a SLB and RB to replace Buck the SLB im staring at is likely going way before the pick and the RBs are all risk i hate picking high volatile players and therfore i decided to trade the pick for a player i can use at both WR and RB and still get quite postive runs from him the 1st rounder obviously was going to be apart of the trade to help clear more cap and because of his trade value giving up more would have to happen in order to make it. I refused to trade other players because of how thin most positions were for me. i chose the LT because he was not only a backup but easily replaceable the 2nd rounder is almost 3 years away which will have little impact for me at that time with all the other picks i have for 1985 thats why the deal is where it was. I wish trades that are declined could be viewed by the league because some offers i receive are so lopsided and yet i take these types of trades and get ridiculed about my own thought process. setherick i understand where your coming at no ill will at all but i dont make blind trades like i did in earlier seasons.
