FRPs we can trade this year
2022 (after drafting a player)
2025
2026 (if we don’t trade 2025)
2027

We only have one FRP that we owe (2023 from KP deal) but that prevents the 2022 and 2024 picks from being traded until we choose a player. That doesn’t stop us from making a deal with the pick where we draft someone another team likes and trading their rights for something. We can negotiate before we draft and finalize after. The pick becomes player right after we draft and thus skirts the rule.

“You like Player X? If we draft Player X will you give us Player Y?”
