Not being able to trade the pick: yes largely b/c it is hard to track, and we saw the nightmare of that this season. Once the order is established I think it would be OK. I would say though it shouldn't be traded to meet conditions (of which you have a couple) as those conditions were made with an understanding of round 2 being it's normal length. Otherwise i'm fine with that and will change the above to reflect.
I'm alright with that, as long as the commishes are open to adjusting if need be. I don't think rewards the right behaviour but am willing to try it.

RE the pick, that makes sense re meeting conditions. But thanks for making the tweak, I'll remember that anyways.
