The other part of that equation is understanding where the key areas of value are in any given draft. I really liked how we used the double  mini-trade back last draft. If I have 3 players deemed relatively equal? Trade back a couple spots and play the odds. The chances of 3 of them being picked is very small and recouping a 5th or 6th combo really paid off. That got us a Wicks or Karl Brooks bonus. In my interactive Mocks I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to trade up 3-5 spots only to get refused.. then my ideal player falls into my lap, this I would’ve wasted a draft pick.  Patience is truly a virtue and I’m often just as successful in my mock drafts allowing the board come to me. It’s trusting in the process over human natural inclination of getting “jumpy”.Getting back to trades. Hopefully we’ll retain our own. I think you don’t trade players for light or transient reasons. If you do that too regular you break some harmony and  I think that can lead to the wrong message from a more long term global perspective. Keeping trades at a minimum is wisdom imo. Now if it’s a Problem player? I don’t see any harm.</blockquote>
