How do u guys think we should treat traded players?

Take away the pick in which they were drafted or just leave it as extra picks.

I think you should take the pick that they were initially drafted, that's the fairest way IMO, part of the value of a player should include the draft pick you lose for acquiring them.

Otherwise you can just trade for guys with high draft picks and then get to keep both the player and the pick, seems wrong to me

This seems the right way to go.

I think so too. My only question is what should happen if your trying to trade for a bloke already in a round you've got a keeper.
So if i traded for Drew Brees and he's a 2nd round pick, but also am keeping Calvin Johnson, what happens there?
For me its should round up to your next highest pick... so if it's 2 round 7 picks, i lose my 6th if i dont have a 6th round keeper, if i do, i lose my 5th round

That for mine is what I'd prefer.

An FYI If anyone has not set their keepers by this evening 8pm then they will be set for them and we will begin the draft at 9am tomorrow.

Boatclub and the Unicorns have completed a trade

Doug Martin and Steven Jackson for 2nd and 6th round picks.

cheers

Ok guys...now:

Doug Martin was a 4th round pick so no issues there

But given that Steven Jackson is a 3rd round pick and you've already got a 3rd round keeper in Andrew Luck and you've traded your 2nd round pick that would mean that under the rules stated previously you'd have to give up your 1st round pick.

Does that sound right to everyone?

If that is the case guys do u want to adjust the terms of your trade since essentially you'll be giving up a 1st rounder to get Steven Jackson

SO looks like everyone has set their keepers which is great.

Just need to sort out that trade details and we'll be all good.
