Trades - Season 16

[Mario ADK]

Latest, just second before the draft started:

To Austria:
3rd round NEXT season plus 5th round THIS season

To Scotland:
FB Witherspoon

[Mario ADK]

aaaaaaaand another one:

To Paris:
5th round (SCO) THIS season

To Austria:
6th + 7th + 8th round (all PARs picks) NEXT season

[Mario ADK]

duh.... Austria and Montreal finally trade:

To Montreal:
G Soeker

To Austria:
8th rounder (NEXT season)

(David withdrew from his offer after my ok and i accepted that.... but hey, we where close, wheren´t we?)

[Mario ADK]

here we got another one:

To Paris:
QB Priestley plus a conditional 7th round NEXT season AUS (6th if he retires after the season)

To Austria:
CB Canonico

FINALLY Priestley walks on after sitting on the bench for quite some time. He hopes to be promoted to QB2 at some day.... Kreiner gets a much needed backup-CB as he currently only filled active spots......

[Niki]

To Austria:
CB Canonico

@ Marco: is this the Conanico I traded to you last year for a 8th round pick, I think his value has been increased after this years draft

[Mario ADK]

a bigger one:

To London:
3rd round pick AUS (NEXT season) plus
3rd round pick BAR (NEXT season)

To Austria:
QB Symons

Simons moves on for a very high price and battles with Matt Mauck for the backup-role behind Anes and London improves its next seasons draft rating substantially.....

[Mario ADK]

@ Marco: is this the Conanico I traded to you last year for a 8th round pick, I think his value has been increased after this years draft

MARIO, right?

not sure. did i ever have this guy? cannot remember. must have picked him up from the FAs and traded him immediately.... nevertheless i needed an 8th DB and he has nice ratings AND i finally got rid of Priestley to make room for Symons...

i am sathisfied.

[Paul-London]

Yeah he used to be a FA, was picked up and then traded.  His value has suddenly shot up ! Perhaps a small error on Marios part

[Niki]

In season 14 Amsterdam signed him as a FA. Between season 14 and 15 I traded him to Frankfurt:

S Ed Canonico (Amsterdam) for an 8th round draft pick (Frankfurt)

during season 15 Frankfurt traded him to Paris:
DE Rob Flickinger (Paris) for S Ed Canonico and WR Craig Bragg (Frankfurt)

and now he is traded to Austria

[Paul-London]

Hes clocked up a lot of air miles that player !

[Mario ADK]

Yeah he used to be a FA, was picked up and then traded.  His value has suddenly shot up ! Perhaps a small error on Marios part

depends:
1) I BADLY needed an 8th DB otherwise i would have had to pick up one of the FAs in case of (most likely occurring) injuries and i would not like that....
2) I think the DB-draft-class was crap and Canonico was VERY cheap compared to draftees...
3) I tried to get rid of Priestley for a couple of weeks and did not get one single offer, so he seems to be of much less value than i thougt.... So at least i get something out of him...
4) Canonico can and will still improve and he will move on in one or two seasons - for a nice(r) price...

i think it is a "ok-deal", regardless what he has cost in the past.....

[Paul-London]

Yeah Priestley is a good player but i think one problem we have is that there are too many good QB's in the league.  Granted a lot of them are untested but either way the league is swamped with great QB's.

This year only Henson and Allen (Rhein) were really the only decent ones and i aim in the next few drafts to not have that many great QB's as we have too many.  Some teams have talented #2's and #3's !

[Mario ADK]

Some teams have talented #2's and #3's !

i guess i´ve heard of one 

[Mario ADK]

must be my 12th trade this season and we are not yet at the start of the traingins-camp  :

To Austria:
5th round (RAL) THIS season plus
6th round (FRA) THIS season

To Frankfurt:
4th round (AUS) NEXT season

[Mario ADK]

FIRST TRADE AFTER THE DRAFT ENDED (all picks are for NEXT season):
******************************************************

After wasting a 4th rounder for useless 5th/6th round picks here is another waste of jewellery of Kreiner:

To Austria:
C Mabry

To London:
WR Hosack plus 7th round (AUS)

Kreiner adds another young but useless backup-backup-OL to his squad, London gets a WR with good hands but low endurance....

[Paul-London]

Well you say its a waste but its one of those things, a bit of a lottery.  If you strike gold then you think its a great move, if you dont then a bad move.

Next season i'll have to make the sleepers a bit more random.  I think some of the GM's worked out my tactics !  Eg some of the real stars of NFL Europe if their stats were low i would make them the sleepers (And make DE Chris Cooper a former Oakland Raider).

If Birmingham had the top 5 picks of Round 5 they might have drafted 5 sleepers !

[Mario ADK]

well, i rather was surprised that i only had 1-2 sleepers on my draft list of 20 players - so i think i got to learn from Michel how YOU tic when it comes to sleepers.

Yes of course: the part 2 is mainly a hunt for sleepes and we all know that some stars are underrated and that you do this in order to make them sleepers. i scrolled thru some stats inorder to find out who the possible propects are....

(i do not like the ideas of sleepers anyway ANDi THINK they should be reduced to THREE instead of FIVE.

[Mark-skyhawks]

I really like the sleepers it puts more of a value on picks . And this has nothing to do with me

drafting a sleeper in the last two seasons 

[Mario ADK]

ok, good point Mark.

I adjust my opinion:
YES to sleepers as those low picks would be of much lesser worth without them.
NO to 5 of them, 3 or them are enough.
