My values I did overvalued running backs and undervalued wide receivers in relation to how the draft was playing out. One of the main reasons I was stuck with not much until the very end as I wasn't sure which direction to go.

but you showed up. I think Bud was chewy, autodrafting cuz his power went out. And he was bidding really high on everyone at the beginning of the draft, over the projected value.

you're right though, it's very difficult to plan when almost every player goes for higher than their projected value.

Fuck that, I definitely deserved an F+.
Also thanks espn for autodrafting me an F team. I think that F is for fuck you.

once we noticed the carnage, we actually tried helping out. But ESPN was bound and determined to spend all your money as soon as possible.

LMK if you want Stafford, I'll work with you.

I believe the value was up to ESPNs average. It seemed that way as his autodraft wouldn't go above it.

I'd actually reduced some of them luckily before the draft. I didn't expect to be on auto draft though, so I got over changing them after a dozen or so.

I would love to make a trade but I have no bench as I had to spend 1dollar on everyone that wasn't my wr/rb/flex. So I can't trade anyone unless I want someone's backup going in my starting lineup.

You stole sudfeld dammit. I wanted him or finley as my tight end and both went for more than the 3 bucks i had left. I also got left without tate, having foster without tate and having McFadden is just plain scary.

It might help if you indicate which asset you're most keen on upgrading - QB, WR, RB, TE?

Hey everyone - going to hook up Chewbacca with a couple players, so please don't veto the trades even though they'll be a bit one-sided. They won't be superstars, just solid guys who will be improvements over who he has.

nope

Glenn is a great sportsman for doing it. Trying to get Bud a little competitive. Its no fun playing against someone who got hosed by the computer.

I don't understand. As I said I actually Chewies team more than mine. It's not a bad team at all...

Basically Rudeguy / Taints said he wanted to improve at RB and was overstocked at QB. I had the opposite problem. So I proposed trade of two RB depth guys who could be easy Flex starters for Stafford plus a low-end TE (I think Bennett?) to keep the numbers of players even.

Since getting Stafford will make Cutler expendable for me, I would have released him anyway so I figured give him to Chewbacca instead of sending him to waivers, ditto for the TE. I don't think anyone should be that threated by Chewie being able to upgrade from E.J. Manuel to Cutler without needing Chewie needing to blow FAAB budget on the dude.

I didn't even check to see what I paid for the RBs in auction, I figured that 2 low-end RB2/Flex types seemed reasonable to me for a QB1 when Rudeguy already had 2 on roster. I presumed Rudeguy wanted the flexibility of RB depth to cover Bye weeks rather than a single moderately better RB, but I've offered him Ahmad Bradshaw as an alternative trade if he prefers. Again, I don't know what I paid for Bradshaw in auction either, but again to me the value seems reasonable for both parties.

If the league objects to either trade, I'm fine if you veto the trade. I was planning on playing Bradford and Cutler as as Quarterback-by-Committee anyway, so it's not like I'm lusting after Stafford and will do anything to get him.

those guys you traded him are not flex startable, pierce is borderline at best, andre brown is out until at least week 10...

you're not doing him favors, you're getting stafford for nothing

Well I can see you'll vote against the trade then, which is fine. Would you object if the trade was Bradshaw vs. Stafford? Again, it doesn't matter much to me, but I'd prefer if you offered constructive criticism or alternatives instead of just sniping.

I don't think you have Bradshaw? Vereen would be fair.

He screwed up by buying two QBs, but just because stafford has no value to his team doesn't mean he should trade him away for nothing. If he was at least gaining value you'd have an argument, but the current deal gives him just about nothing in value. Just a handcuff to a player he doesn't own

This is the one and only time I am going to talk about this:

If you don't like a trade, get the league to veto it. Don't bitch about it in this thread or anywhere. I'm not ok with people complaining about what other people do. If the league doesn't like it as a whole, fine, veto that shit.

As for the trade that I did with Glenn: I was under the assumption that Stafford and the other guy I traded (didn't pay attention) were going to Chewy since he got raped in the draft. However now that I actually pay attention to what is going on, they are not going to Chewy. I would like to ask that the league veto the trade and I will talk to Bud myself. I thought I was helping him, not Glenn.
