I've heard that rule about dropping a round in value for a future pick. Here's why I don't think it is quite right.
1. Suppose I trade my 2nd round pick this year for a 1st round pick next year.
2. In year 2 I have two first round picks and a second round pick. So let's say I use both my first round picks and again trade my 2nd round pick for a first round pick next year.
3. I repeat the year 2 process every year thereafter.
Essentially, I've gained the permenant right to upgrade my 2nd round pick to a first round pick, and it only cost me the 2nd round pick in year 1. Every NFL team would jump on that deal. I think the same would be true for any other two rounds that you choose.
Heck you could build up your 7th round pick into a permenant first round pick for the one time cost of picks in rounds 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
