Your right I should have had a question mark at end.

Denver is going to end up trading up with someone. Don't see them going into the season with Sanchez he really doesn't have the mobility to run that offense. I don't see Lynch falling all the way to 31. Perhaps the go with a guy in the 2nd round instead.

I could see them taking Conner Cook at 31. Which is great since it might help push a first rd talent to 34.

Denver standing pat they would like Goff or Wentz think they are more pro ready. They think it is a reasonable offer considering Dallas defensive needs. There plan is to possibly take Cook 31 overall. Dallas offered no reasonable counter offers.

Next morning the trade talks are leaked to Dallas Morning news by an unnamed source. Romo reads it while eating breakfast. Romo disappointed would love to have all those picks to upgrade defense and add quality depth.

I laugh at the future picks being half the value theory. The father of that idea shouldn't have ever been in an NFL war room.

So a 2017 1st is worth a 2016 2nd, eh? Does that mean a 1st round pick this year is worth a 2nd round pick last year? Oh, wait. no. Because it's rightnow.

Unless I'm in love with a player I'd make those trades to upgrade the pick a round every time and over the long term (team building 101) I'll be the better for it.

Yeah.
That's how they generally do it but it doesn't mean it's right.

It's not an uncommon approach, minus your time traveling scenario.

Trading for future picks is always a good idea.IMO It did backfire on us once though. We traded back with Cle earning their next years first which most thought would end up being a top 5 pick. They had a pretty decent year and it ended up being somewhere in the teens. We passed on Stephen Jackson and ended up with Julius jones as well.

And you know who Jerry was lusting over with that potential "top 5 pick next year?"

Hint: He's the current starting running back playing for a scrub's salary. He also makes pig noises when asked to by the owner.

Interesting point. I wonder if he would have been the pick if the pick from Cle would have been top 5. I would imagine not since at that time they thought Julius Jones was the answer.
