You probably get a better futures return if you wait - team's are more protective of their draft picks when they know where they will pick and who they might get then some mystery pick in the future.

Whoever picks up Lindholm (or any of the other players rumored to be on the move), is probably going to be giving up picks in the second half of the first round. This year's first round is deeper than usual, so the chances of getting an impact player with that later first round pick is higher than if the picks exchanged for next year.
