NFL Draft Question! is there a rule about how many years you can trade your 1st round for the next draft?
Take the Dallas Cowboys for instance. they traded their 2009 1st round pick in the deal for Roy williams. they have no 2008 1st round pick. but they do still have 10 draft picks they have compiled from various trades with Cleveland, miami, and Detroit
what if they bundled one of their 2 - 3rd round picks and their 2010 1st round pick for example to Denver for one of DEN's 2 - 2009 1st round picks.
in the 2010 draft Dallas would again have No 1st round pick but would they be allowed to work a trade involving their 2011 1st round pick another team say Seattle for example for the SEA's 2010.
Is this a plausible loophole? i know it would take being able to find several willing trade parnters every year to stockpile the draft picks needed to make the trades worth while but could a team perpetually work this scheme?

well observed, i don't think there is a rule about it but as you said it'll get difficult to keep teams trading still its worth a try!

Yeah.. it's sort of a loophole but takes a lot of effort and deal making to do it consistently. The problem is finding a trading partner. Teams don't have a good guess where your first pick for the next year will be. In theory, it could be anywhere from 1-32 of the first round.
Dallas traded for Cleveland's 2007 pick, thinking the pick would be an early first round choice, since the Browns were 4-12 the year before. But the Browns ended up 10-6, seriously devaluing the pick position.
The Lions benefited better than expected from the Roy Williams trade with the Cowboys for their 2009 first round pick. At the time, the Cowboys looked like a sure bet to get into the playoffs and maybe even win it all. They didn't. They collapsed instead. And the Lions get the 20th pick overall.
So trading future first round picks is a crap shoot, and most GM's and coaches shy away from participation.

It's definitely possible, but just take a look at how it worked out for Dallas this year... they have Roy Williams who is not a no.1 receiver, and no first round pick at this point. I wouldn't recommend keeping it up unless they want to become the next version of the Detroit Lions.

you could attempt to make the group as a walk-on.manifest for coaching camp and need somebody supplies you a glance.There may be no ensures and you'd be competing with gamers who the group or club has dedicated to.the stable information is that any participant no count if a regular around draft %. or a definite fire can no longer omit prospect all the way down to the final around draft %. are evaluated and rated based no longer purely on expertise yet coachablity,suggestions-set,desire, demeanor and others.there have been gamers whom on no account even attended college or scouts felt weren't worth of a 2d look who became stars interior the NFL.
