Default Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary

Instead of creating picks out of thin air, and instead of giving picks, why don't we SWAP picks? Basically, if you land someone else's RFA, you'll drop down a round and they'll move up a round.

The 'buying' team must give their highest pick at or above the tender level.
The 'selling' (or non-matching team) will give their highest pick from the round following the pick they receive.

Example
I have picks 1.9, 2.9, 3.9, 4.9, 5.9, 6.9
Burt has picks 1.3, 2.3, 3.3, 4.3, 5.3, 6.3
Burt has LT, he tenders him for a 1st.
I win LT.
Burt declines to match.
I give Burt 1.9 because he tendered him as a 1st round pick. Burt then gives me 2.3.

What I like about this system is that picks are NEVER devalued.
A few things would need to be ironed out:
1)Is a one-round swap fair enough to the team who decides not to match? We could turn it into a 2-round drop if that's the consensus.
2)What to do with multiple or no picks in a round? I think that can all be addressed...i.e. if you don't have a 1st and someone tenders a guy at a 1st, you simply cannot bid on him. Likewise, if you're Burt and you tender a guy for a 1st and you don't have a 2nd, you're screwed - maybe you swap 1sts if his is better than yours, but there is definately a hierarchy that can be followed.
