Proposal for rule changes
Concerning tradesĀ - I analyzed all 2018 trades to get a picture of the real NFL (errors reserved):A few key stats:
- 31 teams traded
- Patriots had most trades with 12, followed by Rams with 11, Raiders & Browns with 9
- 14 teams had 4 or more trades
- 35 trades only contained picks
- 26 trades contained a player
- Only 3 trades contained a player on both sides
- Only 2 trades contained 4 picks with a few more containing 3 picks
- Most trades contained only 1-2 picks
- Most picks by any team in the draft were Ravens with 12 and a few with 11 picks
- Fewest picks by any team in the draft were Titans with 4 and Eagles with 5
So based on the these key stats I think we should focus on a few aspects:
- No trade limit (maybe help the committee a bit more)
- Smaller trades, especially fewer player vs player (use picks as currency like in the NFL!)
- Limit for number of picks
So for our league I would propose (to give a clear guideline for future trades):
- Max 14 picks in one draft, min 3 picks
- Max 2 trades per team with players on both sides (maybe 1, but give committee right to refuse at 2 or more)
- Max 1 player on each side
- Max 4 picks on each side
Choosing 2 examples this could have changed trades substantially in the direction of sim:
Example 1:
- Jaguars offering Martin + McBriar + Smith
- Ravens offering Jones + 2nd round pick
instead it could have been:
- Jaguars acquire early 2nd rounder for Martin (from any team)
- Jaguars acquire late 1st for McBriar (from any team)
- Jaguars acquire mid 3rd for Smith (from any team)
- Ravens send Jones for 1st rounder, 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, 3rd rounder to Jaguars
We have 4 individual trades all using currency "draft picks" and each of the trade comparable and much easier to decide.
Example 2:
- Bears offering #1 overall pick
- Bills offering Jones + Castaneda + Alexander
instead it could have been:
- Bills acquire early 2nd rounder for Jones
- Bills acquire late 2nd rounder for Castaneda
- Bills acquire mid 2nd rounder for Alexander
- Bears send #1 overall to Bills for 1st rounder, 3 x 2nd rounder
Again, we have 4 individual trades using currency "draft picks" and I think we can all agree they are much easier to decide.
Of course that doesn't mean this huge trade should just be split up into 4 trades and we have 4 trades between the same teams, that's far from sim again. But having no trade limit and having easier trades, that should make it much easier for all teams. There's no need to discuss for weeks a blockbuster trade including 4 players on each side, but now to just agree to player vs pick.
It's a long text now, but should give you just every information needed. Actualy the bold parts (which is the rule proposal) is quite short and easy to understand.

Aiming for Sim Stats
I think when considering violations, the opponent should also be taken into consideration. Having a record breaking year when you've had 12 CPU games for example, is sketchy at best because you can largely choose how you want to score against the cpu (unless you're the Bengals).Take my own season as the converse example, yes Zeke has been worked hard, but he's done it against the Eagles (#1 run d in the league, #2 top D overall), the Vikings(#4), Panthers(#6), 49ers(#9), as well as Jags and Colts who are just outside the top 10.
One is an accomplishment to my mind, and the other, perhaps less so.
