If fact because people weight future picks as less than current picks, a team can increase their draft capital by biting the bullet one year. Trade your first for a first the next year and a second. Keep doing that and you keep getting more picks. This is because future picks should be valued the same, but they are not.
Like Lanny said, we could be waiting until 2030 before the kid makes the team!
