He probably does. :shock: :wink: Incidently, I waited until last night, after I got home from work, to put this draft together.

I put in 7 proxies. I will be traveling home from Montgomery, AL today and will not have acccess until about 7 or 8 tonight. Doc, I will send you a PM.

Sent Coach P a PM letting him know the draft was ready to go. Hopefully, he'll get this thing rolling today.

Thanks for the info. I re-edited the list and included that trade.

Am I correct that Howard is a Doc X selection?

Right you are, Randy! Elston Howard belongs to the Turkeys even though on the draft site it appears that Beasts took him.

Because we allow trades for picks and the draft site isn't built to take that into account, it can make for an interesting circumstance. We'll do our best to keep up with it all.

The draft site shows that Charlie is up for a pick in round 1. However, PJMB owns Charlies first 3 picks. So it is actually Kevin's pick. He can either have Charlie make the pick, or announce it here and I'll try to manipulate the "skip pick" on the draft site.

There is a "make a trade" tab on the site...does it not function?

by **doc x** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 11:18 am

The "Make Trade" function does work. It is a pick for pick or player for player feature.

I guess I could have had Beasts trade me his #1 for my #1 under this system. The trouble begins when you trade two keepers for 3 picks as PJMB and Charlie have done. There is no way that I can see to make that work on the draft site. Thus, when we allow a pick to be traded for a stadium, or a keeper for a pick, we have no choice but to work together on the draft site and keep things straight and clear back here on the thread.

FWIW, this was the most active offseason for trades in Armchair that I can remember.
