Trading after the draft

Shawn Peters has a good article posted on ESPN.com describing a theory when it comes to drafting your team and then finding trading partners later. Certainly players that might be valued equally to another player may gain you some trade value if the player you are willing to trade has more "buzz" than another one - gaining equal value in return...but then also maybe getting YOU another player that can account for that "buzz".

I'm not sure that I agree with taking the best player available in all cases - sometimes you have to try and beat a trend before those players are exhausted. Although all the owners in one of my leagues are active the entire season, trying to pull a trade off with them can be another matter.
