I dont think we should be worried abour losing these picks. We dont have roster spots for these picks, they will be just two way contracts, stashed players that we will never hear again or just plainly sold for cash.
Or what if....
we were able to package 50, 55, 58 to move up to 39 and get a Khris Middleton or 40 and get a Will Barton?

Don't diminish the value of 2nd rounders, keep an open mind to their potential value. There's always a possibility that you're able to scout a player everyone else missed on and you want ammunition to go up and get that guy.
