13th Round FA Draft Pick
14th Round FA Draft Pick
15th Round FA Draft Pick
for
Viper's 15th Round FA Draft Pick
All picks this year.
We don't trade draft picks we don't own. That's more of a common sense rule. So no thankyou to the above.
I’m of the premise that this trade would work. Our limit of future round draft picks finalizes when we make our last pick to fill our roster of 40 players. Even if one was of the opinion you only have as many picks as players you need to fill your roster, you could always do a trade to trade your second to last pick to create new picks to give another manager until they have the picks they need to fill their roster. If you ended up wanting your original pick back, you would then trade your latest pick for the earliest pick you traded away (having the 170th pick isn’t much different than the 156th pick).
I don’t think this loophole should be abused, but I think it works according to how the rules are presently written.
