I see a trading a pick from this years draft for a pick next year as only trading a pick 1 year in advance. Am I missing something?
Not allowing the trading of current year draft picks for picks the subsuquent year is severly limiting IMO.

The reason this rule is in place is to prevent an owner from trading away his future and then ditching the league and the new owner having nothing to work with.
