My response from today's thread about my moves in Vampirates.

First of all how I grade the trades.
Vick to Kelly for 1-4= She wins big! I really had no choice here. I had Rivers last year and picked up Vick on waivers when rumors were starting about him maybe going to start for the Eagles. So I had 2 of the top 3 fantasy point QBs and not only can I only start one. I can also only keep one. I had to do it, and Vick was the QB getting all the interest. There was no interest in Rivers really. I would have loved to keep Vick but had to do it. Win Kelly
Ryan Mathews to Tfox for 1-10. I think this is a pretty fair trade. I needed to trade Mathews because I have 1 good back to many. I had Mendenhal and McFadden. I wasn't trading or dropping those guys. So Mathews became my odd back out. If Tfox holds that pick, there is a 50/50 chance that Mathews would fall down to it. So if he wanted Mathews that was the safe bet. That was a win win trade.
Trading rounds 2 3 and 4 picks for NWBR's 1-9 pick and 9 and 10 round picks. Yes, NWBR wins this trade. However, I had 3 picks in the 1st round. I can get another one and forget my 2-4 rounds and I sill have a pick at the top of round 5 (5-2) which is only 4 spots lower than my low 4th rounder. This makes sense for me. I can get all my top targets in the 1st round. Yes, I overpaid, but having 3 number 1 picks just made it very attractive to gut my 2-4 and get that 4th number 1 pick. NWBR wins that trade, but I am very happy with it.
