Due to my observing certain teams getting stacked with high round draft picks and preying on less experienced owners I have started the following guidelines. Feel free to comment.
Note: the only owners that will balk at this are the ones that are currently ruining our leagues.1. Don't trade quality for quantity.
2. Don't make a trade that would give another team a major advantage. Check to see how many draft picks they already have.
3. Don't trade for players when there are FAs that are of the same quality or within 5% of the player being offered.
4. Don't trade for mid-level, 50-60, players before the draft. There will be plenty in the FA market after the draft.
