You trade a keeper.  You don't trade his rights.  I'm not sure what you were expecting to have happen here.

Here's my solution:

I give my 2nd and 7th to MB in exchange for Alshon Jeffery plus his 7th and 8th.

I'll keep Jeffery with the 7th that I receive in the trade while MB still gets to keep Bell at a 7th round level.

MB gets my 2nd round pick with the added bonus of elevating his 8th to a 7th.

More like saving him a 6th, which is what he'd have to use if he just wanted to keep Alshon.  I have no problem with this if you want to do it.  You really don't have an obligation to do so.

MB -> Andrew Ryan    Alshon Jeffery (7th) and 8th rd
Andrew Ryan -> MB    2nd and 7th rd

You're right, I'm not obligated, but I do have an incentive to ensure that this trade gets completed.

MB -> Andrew Ryan    Alshon Jeffery (7th) and 8th rd
Andrew Ryan -> MB    2nd and 7th rd

The 7th round pick swap is rendered negligible in that scenario so I could just give him my 2nd for his 8th.

This is essentially the same trade that I pulled off with Soss last year for Nelson. He needed an extra 3rd so that he could keep both Thomas and Bernard.

The only difference being that I'm trying to trade for one of the two players with identical keeper rounds.

[MBGreen]

I think this can be resolved if I give you my 7th for your 8th.

I'm good with that.

So are we coming up with a better day or does JFIF have to take a few hours off freaking all the model bridesmaids at the wedding?

I'll start a poll in a bit.

MB and AR, you guys may have to redo the trade once I set the draft order.  I don't remember if pick for pick trades stick when the order is reset.
