Since my last QBs who win the superbowl come from FA i do not see a point in giving up 2 1st rounder +something for a QB ..... but with 0.4.6 coming this guy might be the one so... indeed blockbuster trade!!!

He got two 1st because he's young for starters secondly only one of them is a "High" first from what I see S.D is a SOLID team record wise. So it wouldn't have been fair or competitive if I didn't send 2. Plus nobody else wanted to trade with me LOL

It's a good trade. Quarterbacks are worth more even a nine-year-old one in this case he is a nine-year and may play another two seasons having for the fact that Caroline has fixed will likely be in the lower half of the draft and he got a Young quarterback on top of it I see which game is being positive for both teams and that's the ultimate goal

IMHO, players are always worth more than draft picks.
You know where a player's numbers are trending.
Even a 1.1 with 20 vol can have a bad camp and start declining.

True but the picks give you more opportunity to cover those bust main reason I offer multiple picks 3 players or 2 outweigh one. I try not to short change and ALWAYS open to negotiations most of my trades usually take 2 or 3 offer swaps. I just usually don't have time to draft either or the position I NEED is thin or not worth the place being picked

You make a good point. From what I see in the Big deal league draft It may turn out that way. .........................................MM

As both of you are 1st year GM's. I will let you in the loop. We have been through some tough times with trades. Mostly bc everyone places a diiferent value on players/pics/depending on each GMs needs and how comfortable they are at drafting, trading, or anthropology! lol ! Frankly, my method: ; Digging thru the FA pools and waiting for scaps in the waiver line may not win many chamoinships but it satisfies me, I have fun. the other reasons are no longer an issue. nor are they worth discussing. I will not give power to those issues any longer.

Moving forward, I'm not sue that you are aware we have a Trade/Competion Committee to evaluated and if necccesary reverse bad trades. You have 24 hrs to challenge a trade by notifying either my self , warthog, Head of Footballl operations or your Conferemnce rep. I think it was a great trade. Thanks for joining us now lets play some FOOTBALL!............MM

I didn't mean anything negative towards anyone.
I was just showing what may be a different prioritization an owner may have, to those who put 1st rd picks so high.
