Ah ok. I didn't realize you were limiting it to that narrow of a target.
I'm not sure why that makes sense to limit it in such a fashion. I haven't understood Billy's perspective to be narrowly limited to one current pick for one future pick that's a round higher.
I would think something like this would qualify for what I understand of his position of good chess:
Seahawks receive:
» 2016 fifth-round pick (No. 147): Quinton Jefferson
» 2016 seventh-round pick (No. 243): Kenny Lawler
Patriots receive:
» 2016 seventh-round pick (No. 225): Devin Lucien
» 2017 fourth-round pick
The Pats trade a 5th and late 7th for a slightly better 7th and a 4th the next year. That trade is essentially a current 5th for a 4th the next year.
It started out as a discussion specific to the Rams and what they could do with their multiple 4th and especially the 6th round picks. Could they use them to trade up or maybe trade for future picks?
I pointed out how rare the current pick for future pick trades actually were and that it may go beyond just a failure to play "good chess". That's what I was focused on and not on a wide ranging examination of what constitutes playing "good chess"
