Very few people can manage to trade away lots of their picks and keep up a fairly good team. I mean Ive been doing it from the get go (I have drafted some guys but not a lot and even then they usually get traded) but its not easy and means i need to be on a lot to make sure i get first crack at a superstar if one becomes available. And even then doing this has been ctaching up to me due to the trade market right now. I like the idea but I do see some cause for concern.
Self control is always an issue, I don't think the allowance of trading draft picks will stop anyone from making bad choices. If anything allowing draft picks to be traded earlier in the season will make it easier on the simmer at the time of the draft because instead of all this action coming at you at once, you can take it in stride over a longer period of time.
That's an excellent point. The draft has become a two or three person job and DJ juggles a lot. Having some of those trades put in before the draft would take some of that load off.
For that reason alone I think the suggestion is a good one. I would say that after sim 1 draft pick trading should be allowed until the completion of the draft and then shut down again until the next season.
