You don't know that the Vegas pick will be 28th. All you know is that it will be no later than 32nd. It could be much earlier; it could even be in the top 16, as it was a few years ago when they had injury troubles and missed the playoffs. Such things can happen to any team. The pick that is 33rd at the moment cannot get any earlier and is very likely to get later.
There may be little difference between the 28th pick and the 33rd (obviously not
none, as you suggest), but you also don't know whose pick will be 33rd until the end of the season. Furthermore, teams that are liable to finish dead last are not trading for rentals.
