But it's a consecutive pick


I thought the language is you can't trade consecutive picks

The Stepien rule applies only to future first round picks. For example, if this is the 2011-12 season, then a team can trade its 2012 first round pick without regard to whether they had traded their 2011 pick, since their 2011 pick is no longer a future pick. But they can't trade away both their 2012 and 2013 picks, since both are future picks. Teams sometimes work around this rule by trading first round picks in alternate years, or by giving one team the right to swap picks with the other.

Replace 11 with 14, 12 with 15, and 13 with 16 and you have our situation.

See below

The rule is you can't trade two consecutive future picks. However, once the 2014 pick is conveyed and Philly drafts their player, we no longer have any future 1sts "owed", which means the restrictions on trading our 2015 pick go away.


Yup
