First off, our trade wasn't made for the amusement or entertainment of others. I am not narcissistic enough to believe that others are going to genuinely care about insignificant trades I make. Apparently you are. Or maybe it is a fantasy inferiority complex. Or just an incessant need to try to sound cool.

Your " big boy trade" invokes yawns. Both players could have gone anywhere in the middle of the round. Your trade is merely a matter of personal preference. No need for a 21 gun salute or fanfare. In your words: "Boring"

You are quite right...

I am utterly confused by the spreadsheet!? How do I have the second to last pick of the 1st round (pick 17) and only the 4th pick of the 2nd round (pick 24), how do I lose one position in the snake? If this is accurate fuck that, nothing remotely fair about that.

Dude, there are 20 teams this year.

Or you're reading the snake incorrectly because of the weird Heggos/Amato swap.

Settle down, settle down. 1st of all, there are 20 teams, not 18. So you don't have the next to last pick of round 1.

It appears that Amato or someone edited my spreadsheet as a result of his trade, which messed up all the numbering I had set up. I used x+1 formulas in the cells so that I didn't have to type every pick number. The only hard coded numbers were on the ends of the rounds. Since those numbers got changed, all the numbers are off.

Amato has indicated he wants to track the draft this way instead:

Oops. Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you did x + 1, I went in and put the traded pick numbers in not realizing it would mess the other cells up.

I second this, although I wouldn't have passed on Lee where Davis got him either.
