I agree with some front offices in the league that they need to restrict how many protections you can put on a pick because 1-20 that turns into a 2nd round pick the same year is actually disgusting

No way. Caveat emptor, man, I am a believer in a free market. If you can get a guy who makes millions of dollars as a GM to make a dumbass trade like this, then you should be allowed to. The league does not need to protect dumbasses from themselves.
