CBS Aggregate With Trades (4/6)
I made one major difference. I normally choose the "classic" difficulty setting but, today, I used the "difficult" setting. What it says is that good players don't fall as far and trades will be harder to make. Well, we'll see. I could not do my normal swap of 2-23 to the Cowboys for 2-26 and 4-26 but I was still able to craft a deal with the Evil Patriots:
TRADE PARTNER:
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
SENT:
ROUND: 2 PICK: 23
RECEIVED:
ROUND: 2 PICK: 32
ROUND: 4 PICK: 32
I still got the guy I wanted at 2-23 and added a pick in the fourth.
When it was time for my third-round pick, I wasn't fond of the options and Atlanta showed up with a nice offer:
TRADE PARTNER:
ATLANTA FALCONS
SENT:
ROUND: 3 PICK: 22
RECEIVED:
ROUND: 4 PICK: 15
ROUND: 4 PICK: 35
ROUND: 5 PICK: 14
ROUND: 7 PICK: 16
Now I had an abundance of fourth-round picks so I traded back up. I started at 4-1 and kept going until the computer accepted the offer:
TRADE PARTNER:
CINCINNATI BENGALS
SENT:
ROUND: 4 PICK: 15
ROUND: 5 PICK: 14
RECEIVED:
ROUND: 4 PICK: 8
So this left me with a first, two seconds, no thirds, three fourths, a fifth, a sixth and two sevenths. Here's who I selected:
23: R1P23 OT ANDRE DILLARD, WASHINGTON ST.
Considered the best pure LT in the draft. Still needs work on technique.
54: R2P22 G MICHAEL DEITER, WISCONSIN
G/T guy who will fill in the side that Rankin doesn't.
64: R2P32 CB TRAYVON MULLEN, CLEMSON
Should be a great addition.
110: R4P8 DL DAYLON MACK, TEXAS A&M
I love this wide-body to anchor the middle.
134: R4P32 RB BENNY SNELL, KENTUCKY
As mentioned before, three-down feature back at Kentucky.
137: R4P35 WR HUNTER RENFROW, CLEMSON
As mentioned before, has chemistry with Watson from college days.
161: R5P23 S MARVELL TELL III, USC
Not a ballhawk but a thumper.
195: R6P22 EDGE LANDIS DURHAM, TEXAS A&M
Pass-rushing OLB who lost most of last season to injury.
220: R7P6 LB GARY JOHNSON, TEXAS
As previously discussed, smallish ILB who is a big hitter.
230: R7P16 QB BRETT RYPIEN, BOISE ST.
After signing McCarron and Webb, I figure we don't need another QB but when this guy is still around in the seventh, he needed to be taken. Son of former Redskins QB with big arm who can be developed.
So, it looks like the difficult setting wasn't as difficult as I thought.
