List of picks. The only promise to hit a range is I take the risk of you being really good and getting the 32nd pick in a round or being shot and getting the first pick in a round.

We know where everyone’s picking. Give me the pick based on this year’s results. If you wanna keep, or not keep, fine… but give me a finite pick.

That’s insanely complicated and limits all trading. Why the hell would I give up Kelce for what could be a 9th round pick? If you promise me top 50, you now limit yourself to a trade that caps you with keepers since you now can’t exceed the trade limit of keepers as well.

Why the fuck can’t it be simple.

I earn the 2nd pick in every round. Why would I trade for a variable pick depending on your actions now that we know the draft order?

You're not thinking this through. If I trade you my first round pick, it's the equivalent of round 13 or 14. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 3, 14:21 5
- Also, if Crash and you both offer me their 2nd pick, in your example, if you keep 9 and he keeps 6…I lose 3 rounds of picks taking your offer. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 14:34
- No. I get the 3-11 pick for Kelce. You spend your 11-11 to keep him and 9 others. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 14:23 3
  - But I don't have a 3-11 pick. My first pick wouldn't be until 11-11 if I keep 10 players. - The Allfather Jan 3, 14:34 2
    - And I set the draft thread … I put each keeper up with a round:pick #. I even made a joke about Crash keeping the worst Seahawk as his #1 pick just -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jan 3, 14:45
    - Keepers get set *after* trades are done. Each of those picks were legitimate picks. They were just retained picks. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 14:38
