Covered all the bases with this one....

Sorry, but Edge and CB are not big needs.

I think this is what you meant to post...

I like that one SH. As I have said before, I end up with Milton late in a lot of simulations. Big arm, but there also has to be a reason he is available late, so I am trying not to get too excited about any prospects of us filling QB need late. That said, if it allows us to save money on our backup?

Why is it so hard to make trades after the first round? I tried over and over to move down in the 2nd round, sometimes offering as much as +30 in trade value based on the charts, and my offers were declined over and over. I have avoided offering 2025 picks as that seems like cheating.

In my many attempts it seems like Cole Bishop and Jeremiah Trotter Jr are often available well beyond what their draft ranking would suggest they should be.

Hated this one. Tried forever to trade back since no one offered me a trade up, for the first time ever. No taker. Then....Murphy fell all the way to 57, and for like 7 picks I tried to trade up to get him and couldn't!

Guessing that other teams have learned about your surly personality and just don't want to conduct business with you???

Surly? You must have me confused with the Pro or Seattle Addict.

i've encountered that at times, when i tried to trade up to 7 or 8 to get Jayden Daniels, offering way over value (by hundreds of points) in vain.
usually when i finally give up then i see the team i was trying to trade with then take the same player i was targeting - in that sense i think there's actually some real intelligence behind some of these picks, where the team need factors in heavily, sometimes outweighing the charts.

Non of my trade offers are ever accepted. I guess I’m just not giving up enough.
