Draft League Europe is in the process of draft2. In order to provide a little fluff for the community, and a little help for the new recruits, i decided to write a blog about the DLE lingo - expressions used to describe certain draft related actions.

I start with the easy one, and the joicy and funny ones will be at the end. So bear with me, it will be worth!

Trading rights: The draft pick itself

Trade banter: Advertise a trading opportunity, and telling what you offer/need.

Feeler: Sending an inquiry about a potential trade, without an actual offer.

Conditional pick: When the result of the trade depends on a condition that will be or will not be met at a later point of time. Example: I give you a 2nd round pick for that, but i give a 1st round pick instead, if i will win my division.

Overdrafted: Something is selected too early compared to value. Highly subjective. Like linemen are overdrafted.

Undredrafted: Opposite of overdrafted. Something should have been selected much earlier.

Trade up: This one is easy. Send a combination of picks for a higher selection.

Trade down: Opposite of trading up. Giving up a selection for more selections.

Frontload: Give up future draft selection right for immediate selection right. Future picks have less value as time is money, so the future pick given up is better.

Backload: Opposite of frontloading. When someone sells current draft stock for better and or more future draft stock.

Pulling an "Arcayn": Extreme case of backloading, when someone (like coach Arcayn) decides to give up on the current draft, and mass sell the current draft rights for future.

Pulling a "Valen": Extreme case of frontloading, when someone (like coach Valen) decides to give up on future and current, and acquire the No1 overall pick!
