This game is tough. You will rarely be rewarded for trading up, and trading back too much will also get you in trouble.

It's all about value first, maximizing your opportunities 2nd and filling needs 3rd.

Hell, I had one draft that I got Barkley at 11 and fucked it up from there.

If you took Barkley with your first pick you fucked up then. Not afterward

Yep

Tried again - this time I traded down with NE and got their 1st next year.
