What I do sometimes is when I see a team interested while offering three picks and one of them is like a 2nd or 3rd, I'll go to manual trade and try and work something out besides just draft picks.

I don't think getting mostly just offers of draft picks for a player on the block is that unrealistic. Look at the real NFL, most trades are exactly that; players for picks. This year trades are much more difficult than last year and teams value draft picks and young players a lot more this year, as they should. I enjoy the difficulties of trading the system just needs a little refresh and at least implementing a counter offer system would be huge.



Up until the last few years trades were very rare in the NFL, they just now are starting to happen frequently. I think we are only going to see an increase in trades at the deadline and in the off-season as teams in the NFL are starting to catch up to what other leagues have been doing for years. Rebuilding teams ship out veterans to acquire assets, and the contending teams fill holes with these veterans. With the growing fanfare surrounding the deadline I would love to see the NFL move it back from week 8 to week 10. That would help further increase the exciting moves we see as more teams will know their place in the playoff picture.
