or does the other side of it (stockpiling picks) fail about as much, making it a wash?
The Falcons traded Tim Dwight, (gadget WR, ELITE KR/PR weapon, lol) plus a boatload of picks to the Chargers to move up to #1 overall and take Michael Vick.
Obviously, that went sideways for non-football reasons, but it was an exciting few years for a while. And he did have a long, productive career (on a relative scale) once he got out of prison. Not with the Falcons, however.
To your point, though, I think the Falcons included the 6th overall pick in that package, and that became LaDainian Tomlinson.
