You can't trade them until you sign them. They are part of your rookie pool for the cap so it makes it difficult.I think trading rookies puts the contract entirely (or almost entirely) on the team that drafted them. Thus, we rarely see rookies drafted earlier than round 6 traded. I think the Pats would have to overpay in trade compensation to convince a team to do such a thing.
I don't think ANY rookie draft picks have ever been traded not just earlier round guys
