He turned an 2nd and a 4th into a 1st and 2nd and got a usable WR too. How does he keep doing this?

But you also have to say that Matthew Platz is an extremely good Oline and extremely young. so the picks here were only secondary in the trade with billy.

it was clear to me that i urgently needed a successor for my hall of fame QB Oliver. fortunately, he's hanging on for another season.
The fact that QB Anderson has to go when a new QB arrives was also clear. It should be said that last season I got Anderson for a 3rd round pick from the Tigers as an emergency starter for Oliver until I find someone better.
WR MasDonald was on the trading block because he was only #4 and would have fallen to #5 after the draft.
And that you have to give up high picks for a starter QB is also clear.

fun fact: the season before last I offered billy 3 first and 1 second for taso. but he refused because it was HIS QB. I also offered him 2 first and 2 second for Tsao last season....

No fault to you. It's a fair deal. My point was about... well you mentioned it and Waitwut mentioned it.

Nizzle if you’re reading this. In most cases oline, no matter how good, do not carry heaps of value.

In my opinion Billy received a low return for this QB last year, though I’m sure it is exactly what he wanted. Duane has received the baseline for the same QB this year. Hurricane offered Billy a bigger return two years in a row for the same player prior to Billy trading the QB to Duane. This is typical Billy fashion as he is the exception to all that is logical (for an experienced MFN owner).

Oline is only worth a first if it is the last piece to your dynasty. It won’t be, ever. There are too many needs always at skilled positions.

I am disappointed in Duan for losing the season and not even using Gene Tsao for that season. plus he giving away to the other division.
