Picks are never more valuable than they are at the draft.
If you can find some picks now, you can then use them as currency at the draft when bigger deals are both available and consummated in June when teams can fit all the changes under the cap.
No issues at all with trading players for picks at this point. This team simply is not good enough to compete in the playoffs right now, and that assumes they even get in which falls further in doubt every day.
