Freeman averaged almost 13 points a game, which would put him in the Top 10 of LBs, last year and all that is being given is a bad 2nd?


Easy Veto.

[Colts GM (Ben)]

To be quite honest, I didn't believe David's math could have possibly been right, so I did it. Freeman averaged 12.95 in games that he played in (12 of 16). This meant he averaged the 7th highest PPG at the linebacker position.

Veto (1-2).

This isnt an easy veto.
Last year KJ Wright was traded for a similar pick who was the 7th ranked LB last year
And with another similar pick I drafted Tyreek hill
Value may be different this year but this is a trade similar to precedent trades

I agree with the Fins in the fact this isn't as easy a Veto as I initially thought. Being new to the league, I was hesitant to vote, being that I'm not very familiar with the player market in BD, yet the KJ trade help clear it up a little. The Fins are correct in the fact that regarding the Player Quality and Pick compensation, the trades are very similar. The one issue that isn't addressed is the contract amount. Freeman is on a much more team friendly contract than KJ was which makes all the difference in this trade. Then I have to take into the account the fact that the Raiders are paying for Freeman's first year as well. I have to say it doesn't seem like enough compensation here for a top 10 LB, when based off average salaries seems to be a premiere position in this league.

To me the contract difference isn't a big deal. As long as the contract isn't bone-dead stupid (9+) I don't really mind.

But there is a big difference from 41 for Wright and what will be 62 for Freeman, with a cheaper contract for those that care about that. 20 picks is a lot especially when it's right at the point where value starts dropping off a cliff. I would be annoyed with 41 for Freeman as I was with Wright but at least it's something I could stomach.

Veto (1-4). Didn't wanna weigh in since I'm the new guy but gotta start somewhere.
It's a very late second for a high end lb on a very team friendly contract which is then having the first year of it payed for. Going off the wright trade, which I would've preferred the wright side, the pick in this case is later and the lb is on a better contract. While this is similar to the wright trade the main thing for me is that the pick slots around 20 places later.
