This would limit what you can offer in future deals and trading future picks that far out is a really dangerous game.
A first for a second pick swap is just a trading of picks and doesn't enjoy any benefit over simply trading the pick. "Pick swaps" are typically first for first. Dallas could do a first for first pick swap of the next pick that belongs to them (which could be 24, 25 or 26), but the trading partner has to designate a first to swap in each of those years. The swap could occur one year earlier than the next pick Dallas can trade.
Example: Dallas 23 conveys to NY. Dallas does a pick swap (exchange of first rounders) of its next available first (in this case 24). Dallas can still trade its 25 because it made Utah's pick in 24. But, such a deal made now has to also account for the fact the Dallas pick to NY might not convey until 24 or 25.
