Add the next set of draft picks at the start of the season

Right now, teams can only trade three year's worth of draft picks. After the draft is completed, the next set of draft picks is available for trade. This number used to be 5 years, but with ownership turnover the way it is, that needed to be reduced.

I would like to have a bit more wiggle room for trading during the draft. Picks are flying during the draft, and would like that next year to be opened up at the start of the season instead of after the draft.

This would be something low priority, but I think it would be a good change.

awhile we are at also should have like another trading deadline so if like a team is out of competition for their league they could trade some of their players to contenders for players or for draft picks.
I would make that trading deadline like for weeks 14-16 or at least make it where there is even number of weeks between the 2 trading deadlines.
like for example make the first trading deadline week 1 - 4 then the next one be at week 13-16 that way there is a even number of 8 weeks between the 2 trading deadlines.



That makes absolutely no sense. Why have two trading deadlines? At what point in your imaginary season is there no trading? Does the later dated deadline over ride the first deadline? And also on a side note this simulation is setup just like the REAL NFL, why would you want to break away from that? Are you American?

And as far as being able to see a draft class at the start of the season f*** that. Why? For What? What will it change for you? You have plenty of time to build a draft board from end of season to the first draft day. Its a terrible idea, all it will do is encourage teams to tank so they can get a player they have had their eye on since week one. THINK PEOPLE.

Didn't mean to contribute to derailing the thread. I have removed my unrelated comment.

Next time you have a completely unrelated suggestion, please start your own thread. Mine has been completely derailed now.
