I haven't thought about how we would value future picks and probably wouldn't remember that I have one anyway, so I'm thinking I'll just stick with this year's picks.
I think I would make that trade prior to the draft, but want to confirm that it's a reasonable thing. Or is a pre-draft trade at face value too generous? We're assuming that we could make the trade in real life, and that may not always be the case.

We could do something like limit the amount you could get back in a tradedown to two picks in the same draft. And limit the number of trades you can make in a draft to two per year. That would keep us from getting ridiculous with the number of picks we end up with and it would be a modest penalty to compensate for the fact that we don't have to actually find a willing trade partner.
