10 man money league. The guy with the 9 pick wants to trade me. I've always liked picking towards the end. But I did a few mocks and everytime I pick 1st my team gets a better grade. If I stay with 1 I'm gonna get AP and I usually get AJ green or Megatron wit my nextra pick. At 9 I end up with CJ Anderson and Dez.

What would you guys do

So it's just trading picks? You don't get anything in return?

We're just trading drafting position for the whole draft

Am I supposed to get something. Should I ask for a BJ

Generally people will throw in something to spice up the deal when you are giving them the #1 pick.

Ur giving up the first pic. Lol. There is a huge difference at 1 and 9. Most trade two picks like 1 and 39 for 9 and 11. Or whatever is the 1st 4th/5th rounder.

Uh. You should get a pick as well or you trade positions in certain rounds, at the very least.

Wut? Keep your draft position.

If he wants to trade for #1 overall, then you offer him your #1 OA and 4th round pick. He gives you his 1st round and 2nd round picks, 9 and 12. It's that simple.

Other than that, giving up 1 and 20 for 9 and 12 is silly.

It doesn't matter.

I've never had first pick in my $100 leagues and I have won the leagues multiple times. I've won twice with the last pick.

If you draft first, you will obviously get a stud early, but there are no guarantees that since you pick first you will be awesome.

If you want to trade do it, if not sit tight and draft Peterson (or whoever you like).

I drafted first overall tonight and got Bell at 1 and Megatron/Cobb on the back end. Wasn't happy having first pick, but it worked out.

Statistically the person with the #1 pick wins more often, so it is worth something. I'm like you I prefer the value towards the back of the draft. But you did ask, so yeah looks like it is deserving of you to receive an additional pick rather than straight swap.
