Says that we own quite a few first round picks. I’ve heard we only really have two firsts which we can use as trade assets. Why can’t we use the other firsts?

You cannot trade picks in back to back years. When the pick to NY conveys is unknown yet because of protections. So it could go up all the way to 2025. They traded 2029. So they only one after 2025 and not adjacent to 2025 or 2029 is 2027.
