Our 2nds are both basically 3rds, i'm not sure.

The cost of each slot goes up drastically in the teens. Getting the 14 instead of say the 18 is MUCH more expensive than going from 27 to 29. That't the 'draft chart' equivalent of an extra 3rd round worth of value. Beyond that, next year's 1st has the theoretical value of this year's 2nd to begin with. Ours being a later second would be offset by the fact that we're getting a '3rd round pick' less in value returned even after accounting for the drop from 27 to 29.
It's 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other in terms of what the acquiring team gets. But if the acquiring team is looking for immediate depth, they're better served with the immediate 2nd.
And if they insist on next year's 1st I just keep calling the next guy until a deal comes together.
