Can't remember someone paying 3 firsts

It's quite possible but it would take quite a bit of research. It's a high price to pay but this trade will not be reviewed. Smirt can give up whatever picks he wants for whatever player(s) he wants, he's not going to fleece himself.

I know you weren't, it didn't come across that way at all. I was just trying to stop any kind of review talk before it began, because comments = eyeballs and someone was bound to ask why he would pay so much.

I'm not a big trade review guy anyway, I should only step in when it's clearly collusion or a ripoff. I've said it before, I am not the BBB and I don't want to review trades simply because someone feels the price is too high or not high enough.

I forgot you could look up trades in the trade section. I found 3 trades involving 2 1st round picks and 1 trade with 3.

My edit out had nothing to do with the trade...

Thank you, Greg. Short summation is I perused my depth chart while setting up for the season and said to myself "I'm f***ed." The element I retrieved was incredibly needed for me to compete. I go off feel and vibes and given the elite competition here you've got to be at your best.

1 1st - I'd be laughed at.

2 1sts - wouldn't be an impetus for my trading partner to spring into trading me one of the league's highest rated positioned changed CBs.

3 1sts - Power shot. No BS move to ensure the player.

Also means now I've got tons of pressure to win....which is always the case, everywhere. lol

I don't need to win trades. I'm cool with the other person doing well, too.

I just need to accomplish my goal and give myself the best chance to win or obtain a power shot while giving up something on my end that's valuable, as well....

This is a perfect summary. I could not pass up 3 first round picks.
