The coupon analogy is perfect. If you think a coupon is your "asset" you can trade for cash or ANYTHING you want is a total misunderstanding of what a coupon is for. Comp picks are coupons. You can trade them in for amateur players. Anything else and I tell you that your coupon is worthless.
Also (and this is no knock on rocky because he's been one of the few sober voices of reason lately) but could we take like 6 and a half seconds before we suggest something to make sure it A) Adds to the experience of playing B) Doesn't compromise league integrity C) Create much more work for minimal gain or D) Just have no friggin value at all?
I'm all about dialogue for league improving change. I am tired of suggestions for the sake of suggestions.
I got no problem with it staying like it is (which looks like it will), I just thought this was worth a suggestion. I think if you can trade 1st overall pick in a draft, you should be able to deal a comp pick, when that 1st overall pick is way more valuable to a franchise, but I get it if it's not allowed.
Like Mike said, people do talk about comp picks ahead of time and I'm sure tell the other team to select the player then after he is selected he gets traded. Honestly, maybe it should be a situation where that player can't be traded until the off-season or next draft time, so that their is no loophole and this can't be taken advantage of. Since it's getting and will get taken advantage of, I just don't see the harm in it, again just my opinion.
I don't think it creates more work for minimal gain, since the draft order already gets edited. Overall, I think this was a fair suggestion from me. I understand that this likely isn't going to change, which is fine with me. I rarely will suggest things because overall the league has good rules in place, I just thought this could get tweaked, but I'm fine with it if it stays the same.
