We've explored (and now do) allow draft picks to be traded earlier than back in the old days. We now allow Comp picks to be traded, when that wasn't allowed years ago.
I think we're stable enough to make future draft picks available. I'd propose that following Sim #5, next year's Rounds 1-3 are available to be traded. That's it. Nothing more in the future and it preserves the picks needed to surrender for Comp FAs. We already track draft pick trading over the off-season and this would be no different. I think this would help generate some true trade deadline activity instead of the assumed "June 4th" deadline.
*Waiting until after Sim #5 is on purpose. It wouldn't be a big deal to make the picks available directly following the draft. However, I think it helps with not confusing picks as well as helping with rash decisions and quickly gutting next year's picks.*
