Treliving pursuing a first is an odd move to me.
He just spent last season trading all his picks to improve the roster. Now he will turn around and trade a roster player to recoup one of his lost picks?
Actively weakening the roster to gain picks is a reversal of his previous direction.
Maybe if he packages the 2019 first rounder with something to land a 2018 first that fits in with his prior moves. Not sure how often a move like that happens though.
A lot of teams likely want to make the pick if they aren't going to use it to trade for a roster player.
A team like Vegas perhaps that is rich in picks might want to stagger their ELCs.
